I can't believe I did not see this challenge earlier! Semi-Charmed hosts challenges that are sort of like reading scavenger hunts, and they seem like a lot of fun, so I decided to join! This particular challenge runs from November 1, 2012 to January 31, 2013. I missed the kick-off day by almost two weeks, but this just means that I'll have to push myself harder to finish!
Really, this is more of a personal challenge than actually aiming to win - I've been in a bit of a reading slump thanks to moving to the middle of nowhere (Hello, Tonopah, NV!) and having to find a paying job. I just want to see how many books I can read with the help of this challenge. For those of you who are curious, the rules can be found HERE.
Here's my goal reading list (subject to change), let's see how many of these I can knock out:
