2011 Reading Challenges

In previous posts, we’ve explained our feelings on the world of book blogging in general and how, up to this point, we’ve only dipped our metaphorical big toe into the water.  Well, today, everything changes with the introduction of our first “challenge”.  For those unfamiliar, challenges are really nothing more than feats of strengths for readers.  We say bring it on!  This is not so much out of respect for our physical prowess, but our unbridled ambition to read every book every published.  For us, turning down a challenge would be a sign of weakness and as everyone knows, Vampires and Werewolves can sense vulnerability…

All this said to highlight that fact that over the next few weeks you will see us posting a considerable number of challenges that we’ll be undertaking throughout 2011.  We’re still nursing a mild hernia and significant hangnail in our right index finger, but otherwise we are in peak reading condition.  We’d encourage you to join us in some of the challenges as we’ll promise to keep the trash talking to a minimum.

Without further ado, we’re excited to announce the 2nds Challenge hosted by Fewmorepages.blogspot.com as our first ever display of might.  The levels are detailed below and in the spirit of Thanksgiving, we’re going for the All you can eat level (this could be subject to change if we end up with indigestion or gas at any point during the meal).    

• Just a spoonful - Read 3 books that are 2nd in a series or the second time you've read the author. 
• A few more bites - Read 6 books that are 2nd in a series or the second time you've read the author.
• A full plate - Read 12 books that are 2nd in a series or the second time you've read the author.
• All you can eat - Read 20 books (or more) that are 2nd in a series or the second time you've read the author.
