Descending Numbers Challenge With a Kick!


Duration: September 10th thru December 31st 2011 (16 Weeks)
Difficulty: You Choose # of Books to Read!



How it Works

You select from the below categories and decide how many - in descending order you will read over the next three months. Then find books that match the below categories that you will choose to read to create your list!


♦Decide how many Categories you will be doing If you choose 5 the first category will read 5 books you second will be 4 your 3rd will be 3 ...ect

♦Select which Categories you will want to pick books for, and Decide order The one you want to read the most books from will go at top, the one you want to read only one book from will be your last selection.

♦Create Your List in Descending Order Then you can fill books in that match the categories you selected.

EXAMPLE: You decide to start at 12. You choose Vampire Books, and read twelve books. Then Headless Hero/Heroines, and read eleven. Then Recommended from a Friend, and read to ten. On down the list to one.


Key Points


♦Your books should be PNR or UF unless the topic you choose states otherwise. There will be a few topics that will allow other genres, everything will be PNR/UF☺

♦Only use books read During Challenge Dates this includes rereads, you can use a reread, it just needs to be re-read during the challenge!

♦A book can only be used in one Category Even though the book may fit in several categories you will have to choose only one to use it in.

♦You may change your list/books at anytime! This is your challenge and you can change it as you want☺ You can change categories, or order of decending categories, or the books in your list.

♦When you Finish a Book Strike it out and Rate it! Rate your books so we know what you thought of it! 5(♥)being the best, and 1(♥) being the worst.

♦Update Orginal List and Post Update occasionaly Make sure to update your orgianl list with the number of books finshed. exp. 5/15 Completed (this helps me keep track of progress). You can also post an update when you finish books to let everyone know how your progressing!

YaY Jen!!!

Jackie, glad you joined☺

love your list Jackie!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to finally reading them, as most of these books have been gathering dust in my Kindle.

Jackie, just noticed that you have the first book in the Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole in you list! That is my absolute favorite PNR series ever (Kat loves it too!) I'll be excited to hear what you think about it. I also noticed you have the first Kate Daniels book...word of advice push throught the first book, it will be so worth it! It's not the easiest book to read, but the series gets better and better and Curran is one of the yummiest Alpha Males there is!!!

Shellbelle, I heard great things about both series. I've actually read The Warlord Wants Forever, the prequel for Immortals after Dark and really enjoyed it, so I'm excited for A Hunger Like No Other. As for Kate Daniels, everyone seems to love that series, so I'll definitely take your advice on that. Besides, it seems short enough to get through, and who doesn't love a yummy Alpha? ;)

I'm glad to hear that you have read The Warlords Wants forever first, the way she writes this series... each book kind of parrelle to eachother, it will just make more sense down the road☺ Plus it was good!lol I can't wait to hear what you think about both☺ And trust me Curran will be worth pushing through the Kate Daniels series...he is top 3 Favorite Alphas without a doubt;)

I'll be sure to keep you posted then. lol All this talk of Curran is making me want to drop all three books I'm currently reading and push through Magic Bites right now!
I'm going to be good and finish at least one of them before I start another book though.
Who are your other 2 faves?

Update: 2/15
