*Slightly Different from Last Year*
*Slightly Different from Last Year*
Your challenge if you choose to accept it is to read at least two books by authors that share your name OR book titles with your name in them. They can share your first name, middle name or last name. They can share your nickname or online name or email name. They can share a form of your name. If you have a very rare name, just do your best to get as close as you can. (e.g. If your name is Raina, then Rain or Rayne would be okay.) The character can have the same name as you too.
For example, my real first name is Kathleen. I could also read books by a Kathy, Katherine or Katie as these all come from the same name. Even Cathy, Catherine and Catie. I could read a book by a Callista (online name) or someone who shares my middle or last name. Or any of those names in the title.
That's four months to read two books. To join please post about the challenge on your blog and leave the link in the comments. You don't have to make a list beforehand, just make a post stating your intention to participate. If your reviews will go on a blog different from the one your challenge post is one, leave both urls.
After the challenge has started, come back here to post your review.
If you have any questions, please ask in the comments. Thanks. Also if you are looking for another challenge that is about your name, check out Reading Your Name 2009. This one would be especially good for those with rare names.

The short story is that the book came first. :)
The long story is too long for right now so I'll read and review the book then explain why I'm a BookDragon :)
I just come across this challenge today, March 4th. Can I have an extention? If not, I will try to make the requirements in 3 months. My old laptop died on me and I just got my new Dell this week. Thanks, Judy
It's just for fun Judy, don't worry about it too much if you don't finish in time.
I've just found a book with my Middle name in the title so I'm going to do this too please. I'll find another one that qualifies in time I'm sure. Thank you.
Hmmm... this one would definately be a challenge, as my name is not very common at all, but it's worth a shot!

Two books for a challenge is easy. I just have to pick the books. I had one with my name in it. I had to take it back to the library. Will check it out again.
I think this is the first time I've linked back to this blog from my blog.
