Rach  (rsjreads) | 2955 comments Mod
Read your name challenge! Like the "Read the Alphabet" challenge but you read the letters of your name!

Duration: January 2014-January 2015

Rules:
-Letters must correspond to the titles AND/OR author
- Must be different books form the Alphabet Challenge, if you are joining in on that one. Basically- no double booking with the Alphabet challenge! But may double book for another challenge that is on C&B or the monthly reads! (Cant make it that easy!)
- Stay in the duration period
- Post your books!

You may find the old 2013 Challenge, here
