I started a similar challenge a few years ago :D I'm doing all the big houses and the spelling out of the motos is just one half of it, which is why it's taking so long. Is it okay if I just continue my other challenge? I'll have to make a different comment for every house to make my life easier when editting lol

Do whatever you like Ria, no worries. I was part of that one a while back but I thought something here would be good for the group since it's pretty dead these days.

Oh, oh, oh! And if you complete a House challenge I can direct message you an official challenge complete seal / badge to paste under your completed list! Each house seal will be different.

Just let me know if you complete it so I dont miss you.

Oh, Leslie, that would be really cool! And yes, the group is a little dead. If only dear sir Martin would give us the next book... :D

Of course Tyrell, my favourite house.

Omar it is great to see that you have chosen a different house. I guess I had better make up a Greyjoy badge now too. Cool!, enjoy

How are you guys enjoying this challenge so far? It has been almost a month since some of us started.

What I just did is plunked in some books I currently own into the letter spots and plan to read them. If I can stick to the list and not buy any more I will only have one more owned book left!!!

is the only one I cannot seem to find a spot for. (Canada by Mike Myers)

Is my plan a good one to clean up my owned TBR? Yes
Will I be able to stick to the plan? Doubtful, but I am sure going to try.

Brianna, I like how you have your word and letter count posted. Do you mind if I copy this format?"

It's been slow going for me with this challenge. I've been in a bit of a reading slump (and even had to lower my yearly goal) so working on getting out of that. At the rate I'm going, I can't even imagine when I'll be done! lol

Ohhh exciting! I'll try to complete my house challenge in 2017. If possible.

Our "A Song of Ice and Fire Reading Challenge" has been completed by one amazing group member!

Well done Voldemort! Congratulations!

Members, be sure to check out her reading list and earned badge!

Awesome job! And awesome badge!

I haven't forgotten this challenge but all the U's and O's are being elusive!

Hi.

I am still picking away at this challenge with 6 more letters to go. My problem: I dont seem to finish many of the books I start reading. Ooops.

It has been over a year since it started. How is everyone else doing with it?

It is just about 2 years since this reading challenge started. Only Voldemort has completed it so far.

I have not been reading much lately. I am reading about as fast as GRRM is writing. But I only have 2 books left to finish. Stupid "U" books.

Is anyone else still doing this challenge?
