Jam Reading Challenge

In my wonderful time searching the internet this week, I came across a very interesting challenge found here. If you would like to enter her challenge feel free, but I am going to offer up the same challenge. The rules will be the same and found below however once you are completed the book I would like to receive a short review (about half a page max) about the book to place into a binder for everyone.


Here are the Rules:

1. Challenge runs from January 1 through December 31, 2008.

2. Choose 8 categories of your own that you would like to read 8 books EACH in.

3. You will be allowed 8 overlaps, for a total of 56 unique book titles.

4. You may overlap these 56 titles with any other challenge.

5. You may change your list or your categories at any time.

6. Post a comment here that you are participating, and I will add your selections to the challenge. Request an invite including your e-mail address if you want to post your list to this blog. However, we will NOT be writing reviews here! You may update your lists by emailing me to books you have finished. Please use your name as a label, along with the book categories you're reading from.

7. Check back here to see who is participating and cheer others on.

8. Participants who complete all 56 books will be in the running for a glorious prize to be named later!!

9. Have fun reading!
