Oh, to be challenged

I'm signing up for two more challenges! That's right! I have a load of cozies to read on my TBR so I couldn't bypass this challenge. I'll stick with the six books for now since the challenge only runs through September. Ooo, cozies make for great beach reading. Maybe I'll read more, who knows?

The Cozy Mystery Challenge!

Here are a couple of the rules from the website:

1. The challenge runs April 1st, 2010 through September 30, 2010.
2. The goal is to read at least 6 cozy mysteries, one for each month. You can choose to read more, but you must read 6 in order to complete this challenge. You don't have to read 1 each month, you can read them whenever you like, you just have to read at least six.
3. While you can overlap with other challenges, please try to have at least 2 of the books only count towards this challenge.



The Chunkster Reading Challenge

Definition of a Chunkster: from the website

• A chunkster is 450 pages or more of ADULT literature (fiction or nonfiction) ... A chunkster should be a challenge.
• If you read large type books your book will need to be 525 pages or more ... The average large type book is 10-15% longer or more so I think that was a fair estimate.

You can read the rules to the challenge by clicking on the link.

Here are the categories:

1. The Chubby Chunkster - this option is for the reader who has a couple of large tomes on their TBR list, but really doesn't want to commit to much more than that. 3 books is all you need to finish this challenge.
2. Do These Books Make my Butt Look Big? - this option is for the slightly heavier reader who wants to commit to 4 Chunksters over the next twelve months.
3. Mor-book-ly Obese - This is for the truly out of control chunkster. For this level of challenge you must commit to 6 or more chunksters OR three tomes of 750 pages or more. You know you want to.....go on and give in to your craving.

I'm going for the second level: Do These Books Make my Butt look Big. I already have a couple of chunksters waiting for me on my TBR. So why not?
