Fall Into Reading Challenge Launch


Fall into Reading
September 23-December 22
Hosted by Katrina at callapidder days


Katrina is once again hosting her low-pressure challenge. The only real requirement is to make a list. Just figure out what books you'd like to read this fall and sign up. That's it.

Check out the information post for more details--hope you'll join us! And go HERE for the Launch Post link up.

I saw the first post about this year's challenge over at Book Dragon's Lair. And I really like her plan for the challenge. Setting up two lists. One list for the rest of the year and a shorter list just for the Fall Into Reading Challenge. I will definitely read the shorter list and I hope to complete the longer list. If I do, that will knock out eleven more challenges for the year!

  5. Great list...I have a few of your books on my tbr list. I really need to pick up a Christy English book - I love historical fiction, but haven't read anything by her yet.

    My list of 25 books is a combo of review books and books that will help me complete the other reading challenges I am participating in.

    Good luck!

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
