Books & Beyond discussion

This challenge will begin January 1, 2011 and end December 31, 2011 at midnight.

For centuries, people have depended on their astrological signs to fortell their futures so that they can live accordingly. In this challenge, these astrological signs will fortell your future. You will have one of three options, where you will pick 12 books. Here are the options:

Option One
Choose 12 authors. Each author has to be born in a different astrological sign (Taurus, Gemini, etc). You will pick one book from each other and read them through the course of the year.

Option Two
For each astrological sign, find a main character in 12 different books who was born in that sign. For example, Harry Potter was a Leo, so read a Harry Potter book for Leo, etc.

Option 3
Read 12 different books that relate to astrology in any way. ( e.g. star crossed loves, Tarot card readers, etc)

The astrological signs are:

July 23 to August 22 - Leo
August 23 to September 22 - Virgo
September 23 to October 23 - Libra
October 24 to November 21 - Scorpio
November 22 to December 22 - Sagittarius
December 23 to January 22 - Capricorn
January 20 to February 19 - Aquarius
February 20 to March 20 - Pisces
March 20 to April 20 - Aries
April 21 to May 20 - Taurus
May 21 to June 21 - Gemini
June 22 to July 22 - Cancer

(The signs were found in the Nothing But Reading Challenges group and the idea for this challenge deviated from one of their challenges)

FINISHED:

Posted my list.

I will do this challenge

I finished my first one for this challenge. Ashley, are you doing this challenge?

I finished my fourth. I thought I would read them in the calendar order of the signs but have ended up being a reading rebel by just randomly picking what to read when. Having fun with this challenge.

Six down and six to go....YAHOO!

Only two left for me. Am I in this all alone? It's reminding me of the song All by myself!

YAHOO! I finished this challenge (and just in the nick of time)!!
