The Lost Challenges discussion

This challenge has been revamped and the instructions may have changed so please read them carefully.

The original version of this challenge has been moved to the Scheduled for Revamp folder. If you are currently playing the original version, you may continue where you are, but new players should use this thread.

**The original version of this challenge was posted by Dawn (Kat N Hat) in December 2012**



For this challenge you will choose a number of book categories that link to band names (see msg #3 for ideas). Then you will read books to fit each category. The number of books you have to read depends on how many categories you choose.

Levels:

E.P - 4 categories x 4 books (16 books)
8 Track Tape - 8 categories x 8 books (64 books)
Vinyl LP - 12 categories x 12 books (144 books)

Duration: One Year from your start date

RULES

*For each book that you read please post a link to the book, the author and the date you finished it.
*Each book may only be used for one category.
*To count a book towards a challenge you must read the majority of it after the start date of the challenge.

*All genres and formats are fine.
*Re-reads are allowed.
*No page minimum.

*Please update your original post as you go but also post an occasional message to let us know how you're getting on, if you would like to.

*When you have finished please re-post your whole challenge as a new message or you will not be considered to have completed the challenge and we will not be able to award your Hall of Fame badge

(Even if you don't hit the level you were aiming for by the deadline, please re-post your challenge anyway as you may still be eligible for a lower level badge.)

Please see TLC Standard Challenge Rules for further details.

Caroline, does it have to be a band (a group of musicians), or can it be just a singer (one person, i.e., Billy Joel)?

Any musical act is fine if you can connect them to a book genre :)

That's what I figured you'd say, but wanted to be sure. Thanks!

I decided it would be easier for me if I moved my challenge over to here since no changes affected me.
