2012 IR reading challenge

[CaliGirlRae, Mod Squad]

Who's in for next year? :-)

[Arch , Mod]

I need some more books and a lot of books are in ebook format.

[CaliGirlRae, Mod Squad]

Are you reading YA books by any chance, Arch?

[Arch , Mod]

I read YA books. I don't have that many and I wouldn't mind having interracial books.

[CaliGirlRae, Mod Squad]

Ooh good! I just joined this reading challenge to read a year's worth of YA Multicultural books and have been making a list of them. Most of my list consists of BW main characters and I even have a few IR centered books on there. I can rec them to you, if you want. The good thing is they are all in print since YA is mostly print focused and they are pretty mainstream so it should be easy to check out at your library. :-)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

I'm going to try it out again.

Please recommend them to me.

[Michelle, Mod with the Bod]

I'm sorry I've beev MIA lately. The internet service at my apartment has been giving me trouble and I can't see full post on my phone. I'll catch up on all the posts this evening.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Sorry to hear that you are having connectivity issues, Michelle. Those suck!

[Arch , Mod]

I hate internet problems. My internet company had to come see about my internet last Friday.

[CaliGirlRae, Mod Squad]

Will do Arch!

And arggh. Sorry about your net sitch, Michelle. Hope they straighten out for ya real soon.

[Michelle, Mod with the Bod]

How do you keepm track, Ive add to books to my list, but I couldn't make them appear on the list when I sign in

[Reading]

Sorry, I really should type late at night.. I was wondering how do you get the tracker to keep count.. it keep telling me that I have read 0 books, eve though I have add 2 books to the shelf that I created

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Reading, check to see what shelf you created for the challenge. You have to add the book to that shelf when you finish it.

[Firstlady]

I'm jumping in. That will challenge me to find more books.

[Vanae]

looking for AM/BW romance, at least 3 stars. Any suggestions?

Have you read ?

[CaliGirlRae, Mod Squad]

I rather enjoyed No Ordinary Love by Angela Weaver and Gold Mountain by Sharon Cullars which I really enjoyed. Both recommended.
