Comments for The Random Reading Challenge
Random Reading Challenge: 07/23/09
I'm not currently stuck in a rut with my reading but I have been in the past. To keep myself rut free, I am joining Caribou's Mom's "Random Reading Challenge." It runs from August 1st to July 31st, 2010.
There are three levels of challenge. Level one is to read six books. Level two is to read nine books. Level three is twelve books.
I can certainly do level one and I can probably do level three. I've decided I won't decide which level I do now.
The remainder of the rules are simple:
- NO lists allowed. Books for the challenge are chosen one at a time when the mood strikes.
- Sign up at any time during the challenge period using Mr. Linky below. Please give me a direct link to your blog post about the challenge. If you do not have a blog, no worries. Simply enter your name and leave the URL box on Mr. Linky blank.
- Book reviews are not required, but if you want to write a review I will be providing a review Mr. Linky after August 1st.
- Books are selected one at a time using the following procedure:
- Randomly select any number of books from either your physical OR your virtual TBR pile (I don’t care how you do this, but it must be random…no “cherry picking” allowed)
- Assign a number to each book based on how many books you selected (ie: if you selected 14 books, assign each book a number from 1 through 14; if you selected 28 books, assign each book a number from 1 through 28…you get the idea)
- Go to THIS SITE and use the TRUE RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR located in the upper right hand corner of the page to randomly select the book you will read. NO CHEATING – whatever the random number generator generates is the book you must read!
- Each time you select a book for the challenge, you will use this procedure. You many select different books each time, choose a different amount of books each time, etc…have fun, mix it up, keep it random.
My list of completed books:
