this is my second year doing a reading challenge but I have never done a personal challenge
Hi, I'm Lyndi from Michigan. I love classics and historical fiction best, but I'll read anything. I love challenges, so this seemed the group to join. I am currently doing the Millionaire challenge (a million pages in my lifetime). Of the books I can remember, starting with high school and not counting rereads before the challenge, I'm at just under 290,000 pages.
I'm Donna from New Jersey. I love to read anything that has potential to give me nightmares! Love to be scared! I am very new to any type of book groups so please be patient with me if I fail to respond to a post I apologize in advance. I can't wait to finish my first challenge and feel accomplished!
Hi everyone, I'm Trinity, I also go by TJ but either one is fine by me. I am from Florida. My favorite genres are contemporary, urban fantasy, paranormal, and Young Adult. I love challenges, I wouldn't necessarily call myself a professional but I am in love with them. Hope to see you guys around!
Hi all! My name is Rachel, and I live in Ohio. I will happily read just about anything fictional, regardless of genre, though I have a special soft spot for fantasy and sci fi. I've never really done much in the way of reading challenges since high school, which was many years ago. But I read nonstop anyway, so why not? I'm really looking forward jumping in with you all. :)
Good Morning All. I'm CJI am kind of stuck in a rut at the minute reading wise I'm reading a crime book, then reading a YA romance, then crime and so on and so forth. Don't get me wrong I love both genres, but I'm hoping doing a few challenges will get me out of that rut, and may be introduce me to some new books I would never even consider reading.
So I'm a newcomer to challenges and I'm thinking about doing the made into a movie one to start with, after I finish my current book that is.

Hi, I am Carol and I am from Vermont. I am an empty-nester who loves to read, scrapbook and go camping. I have 4 children, 2 set children and 7 grandchildren. I love mysteries and chick-lit but most anything. I do not like sci-fi of vampire zombie genres. I am a newbie to challenges, not sure how it will go. I just started a new job that has me traveling an hour each way and want to push myself to keep reading, even when I am dog tired at the end of the day. I am listening to audio books during my commute, it has been a lifesaver so far.
I'm Mary I'm from a little town in SC. I love reading and feel up for some challenges. I have two plan my reading around 2 beautiful little children but it is so peaceful to get lost in a book. My favorite series is the WOT but in between books I tried to read something else. I'm running out of books to read (I'm rather picky) so being on GR helps me find other well rated books to add to my collection.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am very lucky to be able to get the audio books from my local library and their affiliate on-line. It saves me so much money!
Hi, I'm Mary. I live in Florida and I love to read just about anything. My latest fascination is with stolen art from WWII and I spent the summer reading every book in my little library related to WWII. I am new at challenges, this will be my first one so be gentle!
I'm Penni and I live in Phoenix, AZ. Ezi lured me here. I'm currently reading mostly PNR/UF. Since getting involved in the GR thing, I've really let my reading obsession get the best of me. Challenges haven't improved that lol. So, I can see that this group will get me into even more trouble. I like audio books as I spend a lot of time commuting and listening helps me get more reading done, and reduces my tendency towards road rage. Glad to be here and see a lot of familiar faces.
Penni, welcome to The Challenge Factory from a fellow Phoenician. I know you'll have lots of fun here. And I understand that whole road rage thing. There are times of the day where I don't go anywhere near I-10!

You would appreciate this then. Every morning I drive from Chandler, to Auhwatukee, to north Scottsdale (home, school1, school2, work). In the afternoons I usually get to leave out Auhwatukee as hubby picks up kid 2. It's why I need my audio books :-) By the time I get to work, I'm ready for a nap lol.
Wow! That's a lot of freeway driving. Bless your heart. Yes, I would definitely say your NEED your audio books. And patience. And aspirin. And relaxing weekends.
Hi,I'm Anu. I live in Hyderabad, India and found myself reading less and less every year. So this year in July I decided that I was going to start reading again and the challenges here have kept it fun and interesting. I've started off doing some of the easier challenges for now, but am hoping to be able to do a lot more next year.

ps. I recently joined a challenge here called "Celebrate Good Times October!!" and the most recent post was on October 6th. I was just wondering if this challenge is still good or if this challenge is not being done anymore. I am just curious.
