Random Reading Challenge

Hosted at Caribou's Mom


This will be a strange one for me now that I'm reading from lists. Rules, levels and sign-ups are here. Challenge runs from August 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and I'm going for Level II...

Level II:

You really want to break away from all those lists, but you do still have a responsibility to your reading groups, other challenges and all those review books. Six books is too little, but twelve is too much. Stretch a little and read nine books for the challenge.


because I really need another challenge! LOL


Book 1: I needed to read a review book so I lined them up, counted them up and had my son pick a number. Worked out great - the book fit a challenge too!

1. Water Witch

12-14: I thought this ended much sooner, there's still I chance I can complete this!
