Under the Covers Book Blog is hosting a 2012 Immortal Reading Challenge. I (Shannon) have joined the challenge to see how many immortal books in each of the 4 Categories listed below I'm going to read. Vampire books...no problem. Werewolves...yes. It's the other two categories that I don't read a lot of, but I'm going to put myself to the test this year and see what I can do.
Here’s the rundown:
- The Immortals Reading Challenge runs from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. You can join at anytime from now and throughout the year. This is a 2012 challenge, so books read before January 1 will not count to your progress.
- You pick your goal! Read as many books as you’d like for each species. This means that you can do just one category or all five or a combination of. The choice depends on you and your reading pace. *We have chosen to have a three book per species standard. However, if this is a breeze for you, then feel free to tackle on the additional bonus entries of two more books of the same level.
- Re-reads are acceptable.
- Books chosen can be of any genre.
- To participate, copy and paste this post on your blog along with the challenge button. We ask that you provide a link back to the sign-up page in case others wish to participate.
- Readers without blogs can still participate! Keep track of your progress with Goodreads, Shelfari or LibraryThing.
