How is the challenge going for everyone?"

I had to wait for my new ereader to come in, but now I have it. I started David Copperfield and am wondering why I had that on my list in the first place. But, I have accepted the challenge and will get through it. Just reminds me of being in school and I am 57 years old!!

[Paris]

I changed mine to hard since the library actually came through quickly with the books. Now I just need to finish reading them.

[~Melissa~]

downgraded to Medium - updated post #29

[Kim]

Who/How is it determined which books are hard, medium and easy?

[~Jennifer~]

The levels just refer to the quantity of books you choose to read for the challenge. It's up to you to decide what is a challenge for you during the time frame of the challenge.

[Kim]

Thanks-I kept wondering about that...That makes sense!

[~Jennifer~]
