YOU MUST POST YOUR TASK LIST!
1. The challenge runs from October 1 – December 31, 2015 and you MUST post your task list! (Don't worry if you don't have all of your books chosen yet, you can put TBD for a task without a book.)
2. Anyone may join in at any time, and count any books read between October 1 and December 31. All participants must post their book list in this thread.
3. Books do not have to be specifically from Red Dress Ink unless otherwise indicated.
4. You may only complete each task ONCE. Likewise, books may only count for ONE task.
5. To post points: Post the point value and number of the task you completed, as well as the book you read for the task. It also helps (me) to post your total points as well.
6. For multiple-book tasks: Books do not need to be read back-to-back, or in any specific order, but you must have read ALL the books for a task in order to be awarded points for it (no "half points").
7. Audiobooks and e-books are acceptable to use for challenges, as long as they are the complete and unabridged versions.
8. Books started before October 1 may count for any task in the challenge, as long as you are no more than halfway through the book as of October 1.
9. You may change the books on your list at any time however; changing books for tasks already completed is NOT permitted.
10. Re-reads of books are okay, unless the task specifically says otherwise.
11. The first person to complete every task in the challenge is the winner. If no one completes every task in the challenge, then the person with the top score will be declared the winner. That person will receive a $10 Amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com gift certificate via email.

Back after a much needed vacation! Some of you might remember I moved to Phoenix at the end of last year. I'd never been to Arizona before this move, so I spent the end of October exploring the northern part of the state including the Grand Canyon.

Quick question.....I am going to read Orphan Train cause it came up as available at my library.Do you think it could qualify for 10.4 (a form of transportation on the cover) since you can see the child is on a train, or do you think that's too much of a stretch? If not, could it qualify for 10.5 (small child on cover)?
What do you think?
