Comments for Truth is Stranger Than Fiction Reading Challenge
Truth is Stranger Than Fiction Reading Challenge: 02/01/10
While I was writing up my January in Review post I was shocked to see I had only reviewed two nonfiction books for the entire month. To keep my goal of reading more than two nonfiction books each month for the rest of the year, I am signing up for the Truth is Stranger Than Fiction Reading Challenge. It runs from now all the way through the end of February 2011.
The rules are:
All the usual sorts of rules apply with do-overs and lists or no lists as you like, so long as it's non-fiction that you're reading. There are four levels:
- Just the Facts - Read two non-fiction books.
- The Scoop - Read four non-fiction books.
- The Whole Story - Read six non-fiction books.
- Nothing But the Truth - Read eight (or more) non-fiction books.
The challenge will run from February 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011. Feel free to visit the blog for the challenge and sign a tiny portion of your reading life away - right here!
