Are you going to add more books to your Raved About Reads Challenge list?
It's funny because I was talking to some friends about what a "chunkster" book was. I've noticed most people think it's around 450-500 pages. I always thought a "chunkster" was 700+ pages. What do you think a constitutes a "chunkster"?
haha, well if I really went off of what I think is a chunkster, I couldn't have counted The Help, but according to the rules for this challenge it does count - by 1 page!! If you click through, you'll see they also have a variant on the challenge that is for 750+ page books. Based on last year, I think I'll finish it with relative ease but this first year doing challenges, I didn't want to be overly ambitious! I know that by the end of the year I'll have a ton more books on my Raved Reads list. For instance, my book club just picked The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for April which I've had at least a dozen people recommend. But it's lovely to have it not having over my head!
My copy of The Help only has 444 pages you cheater, cheater, lemon eater. ;-) I am doing fairly well on my challenges so far too (and I have no self-restraint, signing up for everything plus the kitchen sink). I only have one Shelf Discovery book and one Rainbow Connection book left so I'm doing fine on them. I have The Beth Kephart reading challenge too and I'm not doing so well on that one. Guess what I'll be focusing on soon?!
well I supect I'll actually do more than 3 Chunksters, so maybe I will drop The Help off. It felt a bit like a cheat anyway since it came in at exactly 451.
