I am reading Juliet, The Exile of Sarah Stevenson, and The Year Everything Changed...now! they are all rather historical in nature...if you don;t like historical then you might not like these... but Juliet...is a modern type Romeo & Juliet
finished:Juliet..Anne Fortier!! loved it!

But I did want to ask...
Should we restart the challenge for a new year?
I am including all of these books in my 2012 reading challenge, so I don't think it would hurt to start for the new year but it wouldn't matter either way to me
I'm going to participate in this challenge but I'm going to wait until January to start it. Here's just the layout for me to edit later though =)A-Z Title Challenge

With the site clean up, we are going to delete this thread and start it all over. SO please save your challenges in your own personal files :)
Thanks! A message will be going out soon to inform everyone about the clean up!
Can I still participate in this challenge?
Breanna wrote: "Can I still participate in this challenge?"Absolutely. This is an ongoing/yearly challenge that is going to be restarted in January as part of the clean up, but yes, you can make your list and start now, and then continue into the new thread in January. Just make sure to save your list so that you can repost it in the new thread.
Enjoy! This challenge is a fun one. =)
