Bucket List Reading Challenge


The 2012 "Bucket List" Reading Challenge is the challenge to sign up for if YOU have a list of books that you are dying to read but just haven't gotten to them yet. The Rules are simple for this challenge and The Eclectic Bookshelf has included a couple of sample "Bucket" Lists to provide a good starting point. If you'd like to join in, click on the Challenge Button above to head to the site.

Rules:
1. Challenge starts on January 1, 2012 and goes until December 31, 2012.
2. You don't need a blog to participate.
3. Create a sign up post and link up on the Challenge post.
4. There are four levels
a. The Mini Cooper: 4 bucket list books
b. The Mid-sized Sedan: 8 bucket list books
c. The Pick Up: 12 bucket list books
d. The Semi: 13 or more bucket list books

Stipilation: If you originally start small and decide to upgrade that is fine. But once you decided to to go big you can NOT downgrade.


As you can see, I am in for the Semi level. This should be no problem since I'll already be reading from the TBR ("Bucket") list for my own Mount TBR Challenge. I will list the books read below.
