Melissa's Reading Challenges List

[Melissa]

Since I find I'm having a hard time remembering what challenges I've signed up for I'm making this list. I will come in and update each post instead of making new ones as I progress with the challenge.

I'm in the Pick it for me for August but haven't gotten recommendations yet.

All or Nothing Challenge
July 26th is All or Nothing Day - a day of extremes. If you're a gambler, it's a day to go for broke. A little drastic day, perhaps. There's definitely no grey area in how you spend this day.
Duration: 26 Jul - 10 August
Goal: 4500 pages
Reward: 4 new or 8 used
Bonus: Double pages if one of the characters in the book does something extreme - it could be a sport (i.e. car racing, or sky diving); or something like giving up their life and relocating without knowing what to expect!
