The 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die Challenge

Here we go with another 2012 reading challenge! This is an exciting challenge because I have a ton of books on my shelves that I have been wanting to read but never have that are included on this list. These books will not only count for this challenge, but also for the 2012 TBR Reading Challenge too :) Might as well knock out two challenges at once, right? Anyway, if you are interested in joining this challenge, hosted by Pub Writes, here is the info:

The challenge is simple – read some books from the list! If you don’t own the actual book, you can find a simple list online. For the most basic, check out the Listology list. There are spreadsheets outs there that you can look at too that are more complex.

Sine this year is an Olympics year, I thought the structure would change…so here are the levels this year!

Levels:
Got to trials:  5 books from the list
Made the Olympic team: 6-10 books from the list
Bronze medal: 11-15 books from the list
Silver Medal: 16-20  books from the list:
Gold Medal: 21+ books from the list

Rules:

Challenge runs January 1 2012 – December 31 2012.

You don’t have to make a list beforehand. 

You DO need to choose your level at the beginning so you have a chance to win the prize!

You can use any version of the list, not just the current, since they update it every couple years. 

I figure, once a book is on the list, it is always on the list!

Books that cover other challenges are not only permitted, but encouraged!

I'm starting out with the lowest level, Got to Trials, and hoping to work my way up through the ranks. Sounds like a fun one, no? What are you waiting for? Go sign up HERE!
