My partner in crime, Linda, has come up with our first reading challenge for an online book group we run at Yahoo. Our group is called On The Porch Swing. Members can use either of the above on their blogs while they work on it this year. Here is the challenge:
- read a book with a color in EITHER the title or the author's name
- read a book with a person's name in the title
- read a book with the word house, or home, or cottage in the title (only one book with either of those words in the title)
- read a book with the word family, brother, or sister in the title (again, only one book with either of those words in the title)
- read a book with some type of water in the title -this could be ocean, lake, pond, river, rain, etc.
Good luck to all who are participating!

Kari;
Okay, I grapped the button and posted it on my blog. The link takes me back here, as far as I can tell, which is fine. My question is do you want to post a link to the Yahoo group so new people can find us and join, or did you want to keep this a group thing without new members. Before I post anything on my blog linking to the group I thought I would ask you. (Don't worry if 3 people visit my blog in a week it's a lot!)

(You know I don't have a clue as to what I am doing, just muddling along)
Sounds good, Linda. I have thought about linking it up. Just have to take the time to do it. :-)
I am not sure how to procede, do I have to be part of the yahoo group or can i enter through my reading Blog? probably silly question, i am new at bloging even so i have run a few yahoo groups :(( Also do i copy the rules, boy I am starting to sound realy bad!
Thank-you, Madeleine
Yes, I would love to join this challenge, but do I have to be a part of your group? Please let me know! :D
Hi Ladybug,
The challenge was created for my online book group but if you want to do it on your own, go for it!
I know I'm coming in late but I'd still like to do this. If I count what I've read this year, I think I'm alrady halfway there. What a beautiful button too.
I saw the challenge some time ago but didn't post a reponse. I do want to participate, however, and have read the following books so far:
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
Murder by Family by Kent Whitaker
I have two books for other categories (Ruby Rest by Tyler Oaks and The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare)and should finish them next week. I just need to settle on one with the author's name in the title.
What a fun challenge!
