COMPLETED

I’ve been anxiously waiting for The Chunkster reading Challenge to be set up for 2012. A chunkster is 450 pages or more of ADULT literature, whether non-fiction or fiction. A chunkster should be a challenge. No audio or e-books are allowed but this year for the first time, essay, poetry, and short story collections will be permitted. (Collections have to be read in their entirety to count.)

I’m going in at the Chubby Chunkster level, requiring me to read four books. I’d like to commit to more, but I have to remember about that 150 book overall goal I have!
