The point is to read 26 books that start with the letter of the alphabet.

Choose wisely because once you post your list, you can't change any books.

Duration: 1 year

Be sure to post the beginning date and end date once you post your tentative list.

LOL I read it in school too. Only it wasn't assigned. It was just because I kept finishing the assigned work ahead of time and my teacher needed to give me something to do whil I waited for everyone else

Starzee | 60 comments When you type a comment in the comment box, up above it is a link that says in brackets "some html is ok". If you click on that link it gives you instructions on how to strike things.

Otherwise just put a "<" "s" ">" (all together though and minus the quotation marks. I've put spaces and marks because otherwise it won't show, just strike through everything lol) in front of what you want striked out, and then put "<" "/" "s" ">" right after the striked out item so the rest of ur comment isn't striked.


message 18: by Melissa (new)

Melissa so you have to list your books at the beginning of the challenge? I'll have to research that, we just opened the new library in my town and I'm not sure what books they have yet to put on the list. Sounds like a fun little challenge though and an interesting way to find books that you may not have considered before.


message 19: by Melissa (last edited Oct 08, 2011 05:20PM) (new)
