In honor of the Summer of Zombie Blog Tour, I'm proposing a special, year-long, zombie-filled reading challenge.
There are 5 levels for this challenge, and 5 books for each level. You can read from 1 to 5 levels - this is a year-long challenge, after all! But you do need to read all 5 books to complete one level. You don't have to complete one level to start another one. You can start out small and add on, or decrease if you chomped off too much!
☢ You may only use the 33 authors participating in the Summer of Zombie Blog Tour. You may use an author more than once, but for different levels. Each book, however, can only be used once for the entire challenge.
Level 1: Read 1 category, 5 books
Level 2: Read 2 categories, 10 books
Level 3: Read 3 categories, 15 books
Level 4: Read 4 categories, 20 books
Level 5: Read 5 categories, 25 books
