So the only thing I know about this challenge is that it has a really cool button and that it runs for four months(Nov. - Feb.). Well there is a little more to it than that. We are to make a list of books to fit into specified categories that are given a score. The rest of the info. will not be released until Nov. 1st when the challenge lifts off. And that's all that Virginie Says...(go see for yourself). That means I don't even know if the list that I make right now can be altered as I go. And I don't know what the point system is for. And I don't know if one book may count for more than one category(I checked the Part 1 of this challenge. It said a book only counts for one category. Darn!) This challenge may end up being challenging indeed.I'm game. Are you? (I'll plug in my choices along the way)
