eBook Challenge

I am still deciding how to tackle this challenge.   I have two options:

1. Read books that are currently in my Nook and can't be used for other challenges.
2. Read as normal and count any eBook that I read (allow for crossovers).

I am aiming for level 2:

• CD – 10 eBooks

List:

• The Lynching of Louie Sam byElizabeth Stewart
• The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man by James Weldon Johnson
• Leaves by Michael Baron (finished 02/13/2013)

Finishing the Series Reading Challenge

Official Rules and Sign up can be found at Socrates Book Reviews:

Awhile ago I wrote a blog post about the series that I have started and where I am in them.  Well, I haven't made much progress with most of them and as I look at the books that I have read, I realize that there are sequels to some of them.

So, with the help of the Finishing the Series Reading Challenge. I have committed to completing two series that I have already started.

• Lion's Blood Series by Steven Barnes - 1 book left
• Nappily Series by Trisha R. Thomas - 4 books left

I admit I am being a bit lazy since these are the two series that I have the least amount of books to finish.
