All Challenges All The Time discussion

We all know about fairy tales and legends. Some are more common while some are more unfamiliar. For this challenge you can choose how many fairy tale categories you want to read. For each fairy tale there will be multiple choices for you to choose from when choosing a book. This challenge is a little different because there will also be a choice to watch a fairy tale movie instead of reading a book. You may also want to choose one of the reading choice and watch the movie too.

Duration: One year from start date.

Levels:
1. Easy: Complete 10 Fairy Tales
2. Medium: Complete 20 Fairy Tales
3. Hard: Complete all Fairy Tales
*Note: Some of the original fairy tales are short so to make the challenge more difficult you can choose to do another of the choices for the fairy tales.

Rules
1. There are 34 fairy tales to choose from
2. Rereads are fine as long as they are actually reread.
3. You can put books on your list that have not come out yet as long as the book will come out during your duration of the challenge
4. When finished reading a book, you can cross it out or simply put the date you finished reading
the book next to the title
5. If you decide to watch a movie, give a sentence or two about if you liked/disliked the movie and why

congrats Jan!

Is this one of those challenges that you can join anytime or is it already over?

If it's not over, than it am totally in! :-)

We all know about fairy tales and legends. Some are more common while some are more unfamiliar. For this challenge you can choose how many fairy tale categories you want to read. For each fairy tale there will be multiple choices for you to choose from when choosing a book. This challenge is a little different because there will also be a choice to watch a fairy tale movie instead of reading a book. You may also want to choose one of the reading choice and watch the movie too.

Duration: One year from start date.

Levels:
1. Easy: Complete 10 Fairy Tales
2. Medium: Complete 20 Fairy Tales
3. Hard: Complete all Fairy Tales
*Note: Some of the original fairy tales are short so to make the challenge more difficult you can choose to do another of the choices for the fairy tales.

Rules
1. There are 34 fairy tales to choose from
2. Rereads are fine as long as they are actually reread.
3. You can put books on your list that have not come out yet as long as the book will come out during your duration of the challenge
4. When finished reading a book, you can cross it out or simply put the date you finished reading
the book next to the title
5. If you decide to watch a movie, give a sentence or two about if you liked/disliked the movie and why
