Chunkster Challenge Sign-Up

One of these weeks, I'll be done signing up for new reading challenges. This is not that week. The Chunkster Challenge is a spur-of-the-moment sign up for me. I've got a spreadsheet where I keep track of all the reading challenges I'm planning to sign up for. Most of those challenges have been on that list since they started appearing in the blogosphere, around November or December of last year. This challenge was added to my spreadsheet yesterday.

I love long books, and I don't read enough of them. Partly, that's because it takes me longer to read books during the school year. Long books stretch out too long. I'm impatient to be onto the next book. But I don't have that excuse during the summer. So a commitment to long books it is!

There are no levels for this challenge this year. You can pick any number you'd like to aim for. I'm officially picking 8 chunksters (my plan to reread all of Harry Potter this summer is helping with this goal). Eight books is doable without being stressful. However, I am unofficially challenging myself to 10 books. We'll see if I can stretch myself just that much more! You can check out my progress on my Reading Challenges page.

Yay for signing up! I'm also a student and I think summer is the perfect time to read a chunkster. Good luck on your goal.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to reading those chunksters in the summer sun, when it finally gets here!

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at [email protected].
