Wow!! Sounds complicated -- but I can't wait to see what you do and what you read!
ReplyDelete^.^ SOunds like a fantastic reading challenge! I'm scared to join in on the fun, because my fall semester starts in September....so I know I'll slack. hahaha. Good luck though!
ReplyDeleteSOunds like fun. I can't fit this in but wish you good luck and happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteWould love to do it if you could pick one from each group but I am already doing two other challenges and I need to review for GoodReads, Amazon Vine and Library Thing. Don't think I have better.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea though.

Does it have to be historical fiction?
ReplyDeleteChelsea - no it can be any genre you want and in any format (paperback, audio, ebook etc).
ReplyDeleteCarol - I am crazy busy reviewing for many of those same things too. The way I approach challenges is not to take on anything additional to what I am reading, but figure out how I can fit what I read into the challenge. I don't think I will finish this but it's fun to see what can fit where.
Carole Rae, Jenny and Audra - thanks for the good luck!
It actually doesn't look like it would be too hard. The hardest part would be reading that many books, or not. I don't participate in challenges because I am terrible at keeping track of what I'm doing and reporting. Maybe my house is straightened up (100 years from now).
ReplyDeleteI just might print this one off and see if I can do it.
Librarypat - I find the same thing, it's not hard to do but reading that many books is really hard.
