Sign In and Challenge Rules
As in the past, the Global Reading Challenge (GRC) challenges you to expand your reading boundaries, go where you haven't been before, move a little outside your comfort zone.
You may read any genre so long as the books are fiction.
Decide which level you will attempt, although you can change that later if you wish.
Use the Mr Linky to sign up with your name, the level you intend to attempt, and your blog URL.
Feel free to include the logo in your blog posts or on your blog (with a link to this page)
Your reading will take place in the calendar year 2012.
Return to this page to add the books you have read into the relevant Mr Linky - see the sections below
You may like to consult Global Reading Challenges for 2011 and 2010 for suggestions of books.
You might be interested in creating your own map showing where you have been using World66
My final post for GRC 2010 shows you what it can look like.
