Lisarenee | 7659 comments Ever wish you could travel through time? Well this challenge will have you reading through time. Take a magical journey reading your way through the centuries. Pick 4 time periods and read through them. They do not need to be in chronological order. You can even read into the future, and once your done, if you so choose, you can do it all over again. :)

Easy - 1 book per time period
Moderate - 2 books per time period
difficult - 3 books per time period
BONUS - Read 4 books about time travel

Sans Hells bells woman, you are trying to make me insane. Now I want to do yet another reading challenge. >_<


message 3: by Lisarenee (new)

Lisarenee | 7659 comments *giggle* I do try to inspire you to read, but not to go insane. I didn't sleep well last night and that is when I get most creative. When I am extremely tired.


message 4: by Sashana (new)

message 12: by Lisarenee (last edited Dec 01, 2010 06:27AM) (new)

Lisarenee | 7659 comments Actually Angie it's going to be a regular challenge which means It'll stick around and not end. I was distracted trying to think of a challenge for December and for some reason was thinking this was the Home for the Holidays challenge. I stayed up till 3:30AM reading Nightshade last night and am partially brain dead. I started reading and couldn't put it down till I finished. I need to stop picking up books at 8 or 9 at night.
