Reading Challenge #2

If you are on GoodReads, then you know there are TONS of challenges out there, designed to help you get reading and help you choose your next read. I'm going to have a series of challenges to get you reading and focused on certain books to read.

This is an "All about You" challenge.

In this challenge, you will chose books based on the following. You may choose any or all of these to use for your swap. You need to read at LEAST 4 books for the challenge, but you may do more. Here's what to choose from ~

  • Read your Birth Month (Spell it out using title or authors first/last name) you MAY use just the 3 letter abbr. for the month (Jan, Feb, Mar)
  • Read your Favorite Color (Cover of book must be mainly that color, or the color in title of book.)
  • Read your Age (Read a book written in the year you were born, OR a book with a character who is around your age.)
  • Read your State (Read a book that takes place in your state (or country if Intl) or whose author is from that state)
  • Read your Job (Read a book where a main character has your Job, or has your dream job.)
  • Read your Favorite Author (Read a new release by one of your favorite authors, or a book you haven't gotten around to yet, cannot be a re-read, must be new to you.)

Only books completed on/after 12/27 accepted.

After you have read your books, write to your partner about ALL the books you have read and please write at least FOUR full size pages by hand, or two FULL pages if typed. Here are some questions that you can answer about the book to help you tell about it, please answer at least 4 (half) of the questions PER BOOK.

  • What was the book about?
  • Did you like it, or dislike it?
  • What was your favorite part, or character, what was your last favorite?
  • Have you read other books by the author, would you read more books by the author because of this book?
  • Were there situations or characters that you identified with, and how?
  • It's you could change something about the book, what would it be and how would you change it?
  • Did you like the book from the beginning, or did it take you a while to get into it?
  • Would you ask the author a question if you could, what would you ask?

Must all books belong to one challenge or can the 4 books be from different challenges?

No, all for don't have to be from the same choice. You can use any and all. Just the spell it out should be at least 3 books, the others can be from any others.

Sorry, I dont get it....

I habe brought some books for one challenge. Hopefully I've enough time to read. So am still watching for now.

This whole challenge is one challenge, it's not 6 seperate challenge. You can pick and choose from any of the choices to complete your 4 books. For example, I could read my birth month (May) plus a book with my favorite color. OR, I could read a favorite color, my age, my state and my job. It does NOT have to be 4 of your favorite color. Except for the birth month, it's good to do more, that way we get to know you more, but you certainly can do it that way too. For me, I always do more than 4 books. If I can come up with a Y, I'll likely do every category except maybe job, since I stay at home.

Hope this helps.

Yes, that was great. Sometimes my mind is still on holidays ;-) I'll keep on reading and see how far I can go. Love this challenge!
