And another new Challenge - Themed Reading

Wendy (Caribou's Mom) is hosting another new Reading Challenge in 2008 called Themed Reading challenge. Choose at least 4 books with a common theme. Challenge runs from January 1 through June 30, 2008. This one, I also want to join. Sign up at the above link before January 1 with your list of books. Do NOT state your theme - thats for the rest of us to try & guess.

Harry Potter, Challenges and Surgery

So, now that the Harry Potter Hype is officially over, It's time to move on. Except for those of you are right now reading the final Volume of the series. And of course we all know that HP and the Deathly Hallows was released at midnight local time last night (7 and a half hours ago as I write this). According to the detailed Review on Wiki, it's all about death, and more deaths, so I'm in no hurry to read it.

Right now I am unemployed, and waiting for surgery. I will be going into Hospital on Thursday 26th July, and will probably not be in any condition to write for anywhere from a week to a month afterwards. So this Blog will be silent for a while.

As for the Challenges. There has been quite a lot of discussion on the Challenges Yahoo group about whether or not we MUST stick to those books that we originally nominated for each Challenge. Normally I would try and stick to the list if I can, but right now since I dont have much time, I'm just going to read any book that fits the challenge parameters, because I want to finish as many challenges as possible in the next 5 days.

And I am hereby officially dropping out of the Something about Me Challenge since I probably wont be in any condition to read during August & September.

Something About Me Reading Challenge

The first Reading Challenge I joined was the Non Fiction Challenge, (to read 5 non-fiction books in 5 months) which starts May 1st.

There are some more new Challenges available to choose from.
Just read the Reading Challenge to keep up to date.




The second Reading Challenge I will be joining is the Something About Me challenge.

This challenge will start on August 1st, 2007. To join, you will choose up to 5 books that represent you in some way...


Now which 5 books do I think represent me in some way?
This choice might be harder than I thought. But I have some time yet.
