I was in a book club when I lived in Boulder. I was a founding member (haha-really, that just sounds funny), they continue on, yet I have moved and am now a full time rv er. I try to stay current with their reads, but it is not the same-I miss the discussion and of course, the camaraderie. One of their books is in my Chunkster challenge, though. My sister is an AVID reader and has done a few on line challenges before, so I am off to join the online reader clubs.
I am starting with the Tournament of Books. I haven't read too many 2013 books and these are almost guaranteed to be good. I put them on my kindle so I am all set and can read wherever or whenever. Here is the official page and info.

Now, here is the other challenge-CHUNKSTERS! a book of more than 450 pages. HA! I love thick books, long winding stories, lots of character development, epics… LOL This is the pile I already have in my library of 27 books, heck I only have a little library space-and once the book is read, it goes.
Challenge! |

How I read: iPod, kindles, and real books too! |

I have a little ongoing challenge-to read the most famous book of each state. Some of those in the Chunksters pic are favorite state books. This was a FB post quite awhile ago.

What do you like to read? Are you in any book clubs? What are they like, what do you read as a club? Do you 'accept' any on line challenges? How do you keep track of what you read? Mostly I use Goodreads. Please leave a comment and tell all!!
