Woo hoo! YAY! I love, love LOVE how you and Gis create so many fun ways for us to find good/different books!Thanks. I'm sure I'll read all 10 within the readathon period. NOT! LOL
Glad you like them! :DNo need to read 10 books. :D If you can find 1 book that fits all 10 challenges, you're good to go!

If YOU find one that fits all 10, let me know and THEN I'll be good to go! LOL
LOL. I'll be searching. :D Maybe we'll have to read 2 books. LOL
Actually, finding a novella non-fiction book may be impossible so I think our dreams of a 1 book challenge are shot. D:

Okay, 2 books is sounding better and better. :o)
LOL. Let's see. I am determined to do this in as small amount of books as I can. lol
Well, honestly, I probably won't try to find one book to fit all 10 categories because it's too time-consuming but I'll piggyback if you find one. LOL
Have you read
? It meets the requirements of 2, 3, 4, and 8. Also, depending on you it may meet the requirements of 9 and 10.
For me,
and
could probably meet 8 of the ten challenges. Still need matching first and last initial and non-fiction book.
I haven't read that but I'm not into zombie books.
I may try it since I own it and Trisha and Gisbelle love that series.
I'm sure if they loved it, you will too!
I'm in. got 10 books in A-Z I still have to get through. this'll be a great way to do that
Awesome, Suzy. Make sure you officially sign up in the Sign-Up thread as well. :)
These challenges look great! Once the readathon gets closer I'll try to find 2-4 books that fit as many of these challenges as possible!
Also, I don't know if you're familiar with The Shadowhunter's Codex or the Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare but I don't think they're listed (on goodreads at least) as official novellas but would they count for this challenge?
I might try it. Can I sign up but back out if need be?
I found one that I think fits maybe five of those. It is heaven is for real by Todd Burpo. 1. 150 pages. 2. Pictures of the family in the middle of the book. 3. Depending on reading speed could be read in four hours. 4. Published in 2010 5. Nonfiction.
If either of the books I mentioned are novellas then I have two books I could count for all 10 challenges! :D

Goodreads doesn't count it and novellas should be pretty short where in that is almost regular book length at 270+ pages. Sorry. :(

Jacquelyn wrote: "Jessica wrote: "Also, I don't know if you're familiar with The Shadowhunter's Codex or the Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare but I don't think they're listed (on goodreads at least..."Aw, that's alright! I figured something else out. I think I've found 3 books that will fit all 10 challenges!

That's still great though, Jessica.You should watch it after reading the book, Ktuv! :)
Another question :) Are there extra points for completing all the challenges? Or are they just for fun?The comic I'll be reading is
, and it fits Challenges 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 10!
Nope! This is just an extra challenge just for fun!

You do not need to do this challenge. It is totally optional. Also, there are 10 challenges but I totally don't expect anyone (including me) to read 10 books in 24 hours. You may use one book for more than one challenge if it fits.
Your challenges:
1. A book that the author's first and last initial match.
2. A book that is under 250 pages.
3. A book that has some sort of pictures or graphics in it.
4. A book not published in 2014.
5. A book that has an average 3.75 rating or higher.
6. A novella.
7. A non-fiction book.
8. A book that's title begins with a consonant. The word the does not count.
9. A book that is part of your favorite genre.
10. Read a book in under 4 hours!
Have fun and happy reading!
