This challenge is a book scavenger hunt hosted by Angela @ Angel's Guilty Pleasures for the Fraterfest Readathon and I thought it was pretty straightforward.
Let's see what I will come up with.

1. Find a book with an orange cover.

2. Find a book featuring a feline or felines on the cover.

3. Find a book with the word “witch” in its title.

4. Find a book that features a graveyard or tombstone on its cover.

5. Find a book that features a necromancer on the cover.

6. Find a book with a witches hat on its cover.

7. Find a book with the word “bewitched” in its title.

8. Find a book with the word “spirit” in its title.

9. Find a book with bats on its cover.

10. Find a book with the word “ghost” in its title.

No Book Buying Challenge 2015

Hosted @Chapter Break and Second Run Reviews

"I have a lot of kindle books that I need to read. Surely that will keep me busy for at least a year"

My reading goal for 2015 is set to 24 books. In comparison to the lot of you, that is an incomparably LAX number. This year I wanted to only read one book a month, but instead I doubled that to 24. However, that number may change depending on how I do with my kindle reading.

For this challenge, library books are not allowed , but seeings how library books are budget friendly, I will also be participating in the 2015 snagged @ the library challenge

In the last few years , my experience with reading was more of a personal challenge than it was an enjoyment but I rather prefer reading slower and sometimes if I have to, read it over again. In other words I want to take my time. It was about how many books I could read in a year. I have changed and therefore my New Years resolution will be to ONLY READ BOOKS THAT I LIKE, not to be swayed by Goodreads reviews.

Everytime I am persuaded to read a book that is against my better judgment , I end up being terribly disappointed and I wonder are they reading the same book?

HERE ARE THE GUIDELINES


  • Abstain from spending money on books for one calendar year (or follow a monthly   book budget). 
  • Gift cards OK, audible account OK, but no buying extra credits 
  • Encourage other challenge participants via comments, social media and emails. 
  • Participate in the monthly posts. 
  • Library books do not count for this challenge. This challenge is mainly for books you already own. 
  • Netgalley books can count for this because you have the book, so read it!



This challenge begins Jan 1, 2015 and ends Dec 31, 2015.

2014 Series Enders Reading Challenge


I'm taking part in this challenge because I can't leave a series unfinished after I start!?
This reading challenge is hosted by Somewhere Only We Know & Words Fueled by Love.

Here are some of the books in a series I hope to finish reading this year:





Challenge Guidelines: 

1) This challenge will run from January 1, 2014 until December 31, 2014.
2) Anyone can enter. You don’t have to have a blog just as long as you review your books somewhere: on your blog if you have one, Amazon, Goodreads, Shelfari, etc.
3) Any genre, length, or format is acceptable as long as it is the last book in a series where all books in the series have been published and no more books are currently intended to be published in the series. If an author makes a decision somewhere during the year to add on to the series, we will count both the original last book in the series and the “new last” book in the series assuming the author isn’t going to write more than one additional book. Last book published in a series doesn’t count if more books are expected to be published.
4) You can list your series enders ahead of time or do a singular wrap up post. If you decide to list them up front, feel free to change them throughout the year as necessary.
5) When you sign up in the linky, please use the direct link to your post about joining the 2014 Series Enders Reading Challenge. If you don’t have a blog, please post about it on Facebook or Twitter and include that direct link as your sign up.
6) You can sign up until December 15, 2014. This allows you to join the challenge at any time during the year.
7) On the 25th of every month, we will post a wrap up on both Somewhere Only We Know and Words Fueled by Love with a giveaway and a place for you to link up your reviews for the month. The monthly giveaway will be open until the next wrap up post goes up (ex. From January 25th 2014, to February 25th 2014). For each link to a review, you will get an (1) entry into a drawing for that giveaway. This will be open internationally.
8) If you miss a wrap-up post and giveaway, you can link your review the next month. Please do not try to link to one review twice. We will be verifying these.
9) December will be the wrap up for the entire year. All reviews linked from January through December will be entered into a Grand Prize giveaway.
10) You don’t have to follow Somewhere Only We Know or Words Fueled by Love to participate in the challenge, but you do have to follow both of us in order to be entered in the giveaways.

 Level 1: 1 – 5
