There is a similar challenge every two months but the tasks are always different so it may not be possible to match up your current books.
This thread goes into the archive folders rather then disappearing / deleted

Thanks Lynn, that's good to know. At least I can finish the challenge in my own time that way, if I can't use my outstanding books for the next one.

5. De nevelprins (the prince of mist) The Prince of Mist

Normally we move archived challenges to THIS FOLDER. We don't delete any threads unless they are not following the rules.
Anyway, 11th two-reading challenge (June-July 2014) will be posted sometime next week.
