[Rachel T]

This is the first time I signed up ... LOL I was wondering the same thing!?

[Rachel the Book Harlot]

LOL That was me! :) Hi Rachel!

[Rachel T]

I did sign up for the general reading challenge as well .. does that help???

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

I hate to do this to you, but can one of you add something to your name, so I can distinguish between you for the challenge?

[Rachel T]

BAHAHAHAHA ... Hi Rachel! LOL

Okay .. write me down as Rachel T ... that should clarify! :)

[Rachel T]

just changes my profile name! ;)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

Thanks,
Rachel T! That really helps!

[Rachel the Book Harlot]

Awww, thanks for modifying your name! (We should have messed with Lady D first though. HA!) By the way, kudos on your challenge list! I think I'm going to do Option E too but not sure about the others yet.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

Oh, I don't need any help being confused! Thanks for helping out a forgetful, easily discombobulated moderator!

[Tali]

Lady Danielle,
Do I just let you know by posting here that I'd like to do this or do I need to message you???

Thanks & this looks like so much fun!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

Just posting here is fine, Tali. I have added you to the list. You can set your challenge up now or at any time during 2012.

[Tali]

Okay so, I'm doing option A with my own phrase "stuff of heroes & psychotic killers" by Mac in the Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning.
I am almost done but need help finding one more 'E' and an 'O'. Some of these might not have dangerous heroes, so the list might change throughout the process. :)

Option C: The Most Dangerous Ones of All
For this challenge, all ten of your book choices must rate a 1 out of 10 (most dangerous hero of all) on the Dangerous Hero Scale. A number one has these qualities:
Completely lethal, seemingly remorseless, has no problem killing to get the job done, or killing as the job. Killing someone doesn't phase him. It's either him or them and don't let someone be after someone he loves. More or less amoral-except when it comes to things that have true value to him (like his heroine or his family). The mission is all that matters to him (at least until he falls for his heroine).

This is a hold-over from last years’ challenge. Compile a list of fifty heroes from fifty different books that take place in fifty different locations. You may use a country more than once. You may not use a United State more than once. For example: You can use two locations in France, but you cannot use Paris or New York state (one city per state and one state per book, so if you use a book set in New York City, it means that you cannot use New York again) more than once. You can use fictional/mythical/otherworldly locations. Please note if the location is mythical in your listing.

Thanks! I probably will do the same but will definitely use different books!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

You're welcome. Thanks for participating, Carolyn.

[Melissa]

Since most of the challenges require more books than I'll have reading space for I going for option A. I am going to spell out phrase. With either books that start with the letter or authors whose first or last name start with the letter. Hope that is ok but it will definitely have me reading more books in this category than I normally do.

That's totally fine, Melissa.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

I have two Melissas signed up. So if you're a different Melissa, let me know, okay?

[Melissa]

yes different Melissa...if it is easier you can just call me Mel

Sorry Danielle, I have a dense question. About option D World-Tour. I wanted to try it again but most of the books I read takes place in the US. The way I understands it I can only use the US once...or is it a city per 50 US state?...like a US state can only be used once?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

You can use all the fifty states of the US once. Which means that if you stay with only US set books, you can still have the potential for 50 different books, since there are 50 different states. So if you have a book set in one state, you're done with that state for the rest of the challenge. I was trying to make it clear that you can't use more than one city per state, but I might not have gotten the point across. It might require a bit of research if you aren't familiar with the cities in the US, but you can use this website if you want to find out.

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Ok, so it is the same rule as last year (for the US)....then I may try it again.

[Kryptonite]

Sign me up. I'm thinking between Option A: HE CAN KIDNAP ME ANYTIME and Option D: Dangerous Hero World-Tour
D sounds more a challenge.

Do I need do anything to sign up?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

You just did, Kryptonite. I'll add you to the list. You just post your progress periodically and let me know when you're done. Glad you joined.

Sorry I wasn't clear in the directions.

[Desiree M ~*~*~]

I'll be going for all the options (A-E). Originally I was only going to try for 2 but I feel like really challenging myself. :)

You can do it, Desiree. I think over a year, it's surprising how you knock the different levels out.

[Melissa]

just curious I know it says fictional but what if we read a non-fiction book with a bad boy in it? Like a memoir or autobiography?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

That's fine, Melissa.

[Melissa]

Thanks, cause there are some yummy bad boys in real life who I wouldn't mind reading about

Especially when I can use the same book for different levels. There are a couple parts that are going to be a bit difficult, like finding a 'U' hero, but I'm going to enjoy the challenge. :)
