Quick question. Is it cheating to use the same book for more than one challenge? I'm staring at the behemoth I'm reading for one and wondering.

Nope, that's perfectly fine. We just can't use the same book for multiple tasks in a single challenge.

I finished number 14. A book you can finish in a day with The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness

You might try J.D. Robb's Naked in Death. It's set in 2050 or something. It's a romance and police procedural with a non-traditional romance heroine....she's very tough. The series is a lot of fun to read if you need a break from literature.

I am struggling with the book of poetry. I really don't like poetry. I want to try to read one of everything on this list but this is my wall. Unless it's "'Twas The Night Before Christmas", I'm not interested. Suggestions please?

Question? How are you all resolving the dilemma of reading a book that can be categorized as more than one subject? Some of them, because of my lack of interest in a particular subject, I have counted one book as 2 subjects to be done but occasionally there is a book that can be a couple of them. I am curious about your process to resolve this issue.

** a book from the library ** The Rebel Bride ** a satirical book ** It Ended Badly

I like individual poems and have many favorites but I don't really have an interest in a whole book of poems. So what I have decided to do is find a short book of poems and read one or two of the poems a week. Kinda like reading a daily devotional like my friend does but I have no interest in either.

Kimberly wrote: "I am struggling with the book of poetry. I really don't like poetry. I want to try to read one of everything on this list but this is my wall. Unless it's "'Twas The Night Before Christmas", I'm no..."

You might Google 'poetry for people who don't like poetry'. I found some good suggestions and my solution that way. Good luck.

Lynn! You are so kind thanks! I'll check it out!

Kimberly: you could give a try to Shakespeare's sonnets! If someone is able to read in italian (I highly doubt it, but one never knows!), Cento poesie d'amore a Ladyhawke is really beautiful!!!

Have you read Shel Silverstein? His poems are funny and light-hearted. Or, for something really short, Ride a Purple Pelican by Jack Prelutsky is a children's book of poetry and is both short (only 64 pages including illustrations) and fun.
