@Jason have you read all those books or are you going to? :)
I am going to, you have given me a year to get it done. Or have I misunderstood the challenge?
Jason wrote: "I am going to, you have given me a year to get it done. Or have I misunderstood the challenge?"Yep a year, the person that made up this challenge orginally had it 6 months but I thought I'd give people a year instead :)
Ok. I have started book 10,american psycho, from the list so should be done quite soon.
So, I've never done a challenge before because I don't like giving myself homework. But I decided to try this one, so here the books I'm trying to read1) Read a book with a dress on the cover
2) Read a book with no people on the cover
(unless you count a shoe as a person)3) Read a book with a cover you love
4) Read a book with a cover you hate
5) Read a book with a faceless person on the cover
(I hope that counts since he is in the shadows and you can't see his face)6) Read a book where the title takes most of the cover
7) Read a book with an animal on the cover
8) Read a cover that is in your favorite color
(well I don't have one specific favorite color but this one has a lot of green and some dark red in it so I'll go with it)9) Read a book with a bright colored cover
10) Read a book with a dark colored cover
(this is a German vampire novel, translated the title means 'Dark')I will not read them in order I guess

@Jason Sorry, I stole your check mark... :)

..."@Tinka I also borrowed your #6...
Haha. I stole it from elsewhere, so if I go down I'll be taking you with me.I used to have last chance to see audiobook read by Douglas Adams himself, but I lost it, it was amazing, all you can seem to buy now is the abridged versions which are rubbish.
@Annika You already started right? How is it?
@Tinka I really am liking it so far. It is a totally different genre than I am used to, but I love David Sedaris, and it's pretty hilarious. I've already gotten some weird looks from people when I laugh out loud on the bus, so that's always a good sign... It's an auto biography which I hadn't actually expected, but so for, I like it a lot.
@Jason, that's really strange, it's a short book, how can it be abridged even further? Anyyways, if we go down, we go down together... Unless I deny ever having seen that check mark... *dramatic music*
It was awful, 4 tracks each 40min long if I remember correctly, must look for it again, used to be on amazon for over £100, (about 40million Aus$) hehe
@Jason That's ridiculous, I don't know why anyone would buy that....and @Ashleigh I believe he meant 143 AU dollars... https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid...
I'm not sure how you got that number, Jason... :)
hahahaha something must have gone wrong with the conversion. Had a look on amazon and can't even find it anymore, only audiobook version is the 4 cassette edition which was the cut down version.

Yeah I was thinking that was just a tad bit too much money for that, lol
So, I will finally read the first book in this challenge and it will be No. 7, a book with an animal on the cover and I chose
And I started reading No. 8 on the list
Finished pride and prejudice, third book completed from my list.
How did you like it? It is one of my all time favorites
Yes it was very good, possibly a bit too much violence in it for me. Puts American psyche to shame.
And I'm on my third challenge book, it is No. 5 A Cover with a faceless person on it...so meet
I haven't even started on any of the books I've added, opps! Have to wait for my library to hurry up and get them lol
I don't even have time to read anymore...
It's hard for me too, I have work most days and then I'm too tired or can't be bothered to
I always have a book with me so if I get a few moments to read I will always be ready to go.
Same as Jason. I almost never leave the house without a book. Since I mostly use public transportation I always read on the subway or bus
Anybody still doing this? 4 books completed, on book 5 at the moment.
Yup, but thanks to my uni reading schedule currently no time for it. Already completed three books of the challenge
Stupid Uni! couldn't they have based the course around your list?
Now that you say it, it actually should

I'm on it again with No. 2. Read a book with no people on the cover and my choice is
I have done 5 so reached halfway now. woohoo
I'm no No. 4 so almost half way through lol
I finished #10
I also read
(in a day btw...) which has my fave color... or maybe a faceless person but not really... not much progress... I HATE SCHOOL
Andrea wrote: "Challenge Accepted!!!"What books are you planning on reading? :)
