The (Next) Four Month Challenge
Virginie, who is now calling herself by her for real name, Martina, but anyways is from She Read a Book, is hosting the next installment of her Four Month Challenge.
I haven’t done great with the last one. I’m not in last place, but I’m definitely not going to make it to the podium (sorry, too much Olympics).
That’s O.K. though, because I didn’t really go out of my way to read any of the books that qualify for this. I just wanted to see what I could come up with.
Here’s the lowdown for the next challenge, which begins March 1st, along with some possibilities of what I might read:

You too? The Olympics cutting into your reading time? Oi. But I’m going to give this challenge a go as it looks like fun and I definitely need more reading challenges!
Good luck with the challenge!
Those are kinda complicated rules, but it looks like you could get a lot of variety in your reading out of it.
I have always wanted to do something like this and each time I am too late. I think the fun in this would have to be in making the list because I am not sure that I would be able to finish it.
