I'm not at all stuck on this list, but a quick look at my bookshelves reveals these as books fitting the challenge. I'm sure there are more up there, but for now, it's a start.
Haha, I have no clue how many I'm in! I'd have to go count. Good luck on this one!
ReplyDeleteI SWORE I wasn't going to join any more challenges with a new kiddo on the horizon, but this one runs just long enough that I might indulge anyway. The worst I can do is failure, and I fail at challenges all the time. No biggy. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to do this one, just because I'm doing the Crazy Book Slut's year long once upon a time challenge. Then again, what's the harm in double-dipping? ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm SO tempted. I "joined" last year and didn't get any of my books read though....
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what you think of Fables :)
ReplyDeleteJenny - Challenges are so freaking addicting aren't they?
ReplyDeleteAndi - :) That's what I say!
J.T. - I see absolutely nothing wrong with double dipping!
Rebecca - Join Join Join!
Nymeth - I'm excited to start it and at the same time I keep thinking...oh, heavens, another series...
Karen Armstrong's A Short History of Myth is a good one, too.
ReplyDeleteAnother good one is Mythology by Edith Hamilton
Yeah!
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first of this particular challenge. And I am definitely doing way too many challenges as well... but who can resist this... :)
maphead - Thanks for the suggestions!
ReplyDeleteShellie - Challenges are like a drug. I can't seem to get enough.
You are like me, girl! Last week I realized I didn't even have some of my challenge buttons posted in the sidebar! I can't keep track of them. I just signed up for another one, too, that I will post about tomorrow. It is on Autism Awareness.
ReplyDeleteRebecca - I'm having a hard time remembering which books go with which challenges since one book will work for multiple challenges.
