The Summer Reading Challenge ended on August 31st, although I allowed myself to go a bit past the deadline.
Of a possible 200 points, I finished with 185. Not bad for my first challenge!
5 points: Freebie! Read any book that fits the general rules.
10 points: Read a book you have never heard of before. (Just go to a shelf and pick a book based on the cover, the title, whatever you want!)
10 points: Read a book that has been on your TBR list for at least two years. (If you've had a Goodreads account for 2+ years, this will be easy to figure out. If you don’t, do your best to pick a book you’re pretty sure you’ve been wanting to read for years.)
10 points: Read a book that won a Goodreads "Best Book" award in 2014.
15 points: Read a book by an author who is completely new to you.
15 points: Read a book by an author you have read before. (No re-reads for this one.)
15 points: Read a book with "light" or "dark" in the title. (Or "lightness" or "darkness.") I didn't get to this one -- it was tough to find a book that I wanted to read with "light" or "dark" in the title.
20 points: Read a book with the name of a city, state or country in the title. Edited to add: The place must be real, either current or historical, but not fictional.
20 points: Read a book with an animal on the cover.
25 points: Read a book that is part of a series with at least four books.
25 points: Read a book that is longer than 500 pages long. — Submitted by winter finisher Kristen from See You In a Porridge blog.
30 points: Read a book with an alliterative title. (All words in the title must begin with the same letter; no exceptions for articles or prepositions. Examples: Gone Girl or Nicholas Nickleby. Yes, this is tough, which is why it's worth the most points!)
If you're interested in doing a reading challenge, Semi-Charmed Kind of Life is doing a Winter Challenge (found here), which starts on November 1st. I'll be doing it - join us!
