Well, the challenge is almost over, and how am I doing? I've read a total of, um, four books while the challenge was ongoing.5 Point Challenges
Read a chick lit book
The Jewish Princess Cookbook - Okay, so maybe this is cheating a little, but this was the chick lit-est cookbook I've ever seen!
Read a name with a proper name in the title
Read a historical fiction book
Read a book with a one word title
Read a book made into a movie
10 Point Challenges
Read a book with a Civil War theme (any country)
Comanche Moon - This book takes place "on the cusp of the Civil War," as I said in my review, but I think it counts. It may be stretching it, but cut a girl a break, here.
Read a Biblical fiction book
Read a hardcover book
Read a book about a king or queen
Read a book set in France
15 Point Challenges
Read a book by an author you’ve never read before
Read a biography or autobiography
Basher Five-Two - This book would really fit into three categories in the 15-Point Challenges section (also an author I've never read before and a book with a number in the title), but I don't think I get to count it three times!
Read a book with a number in the title
Read any book and then post a review
I've reviewed all of the books I've read, but I don't think I can count them twice! And I reviewed The Best American Non-Required Reading but it failed to post...not my fault, blame Blogger.
Read any book but read it outside
20 Point Challenges
Read a book in a series AND the one after it
Read a book that was a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
Read a book considered Christian fiction
Read a book from The Modern Library Top 100
Read a book by an author born in July, August, September or October
So I'm up to a total of 30 points (45 if you give me credit for my review of The Best American Non-Required Reading, which I sort of posted a review for...Blogger ate it and I got mad and only posted my rating). Honestly, that's better than I thought I would do. I'm currently reading Little Women (a re-read for me, which is also, coincidentally, a banned book, although I can't find details of its banning anywhere...), which I don't think will fit into any of the categories (it takes place during the Civil War, but I've already filled that category). No, wait! It's a hardcover copy that I've had since I was a little girl! Ooh, I better hurry up and get it finished, so I can count it!
