2014 Reading Challenge – Fairy Tales Retold Reading Challenge
I am joining the Fairy Tales Retold reading challenge hosted by Debz Bookshelf.
Here are the details:
- The challenge starts on January 1st 2014, and ends December 31st 2014
- The goal of the read-a-thon is to read as many fairy tale retellings as possible.
- There will be six different levels to aim for in this challenge:
- Poor Cobbler: 1-3 books
- Devilish Wolf: 4-6 books
- Lady in Waiting: 7-9 books
- Mountain Troll: 10-12 books
- Evil Enchantress: 13-15 books
- Monstrous Dragon: 16+ books
- This challenge is only for Young Adult and Middle Grade retellings. No adult or children’s books count towards this challenge.
- Because of confusion in the past, this year only straight retellings of fairy tales will count. No fairy tale-ish books, and no mythological or classic retellings.
- Single novellas do not count towards this challenge, however a compilation of novellas or short stories can count towards this challenge.
- Have fun and spread the word!
I am going for Mountain Troll level but would love to make it to Monstrous Dragon!
