This is the 2012 Lisa's Ladies' Favorites Book List Challenge!

Duration - January 1st 2012 - December 31st 2012

To honor the effort the ladies in this group have put into creating the Lisa's Ladies' Favorites Book List, this challenge will center around that list, and or books written by Lisa Kleypas!

The only restriction to this challenge is that the books you choose must either be from the Lisa's Ladies' Favorites Master List, or any book in the series of a book that is listed, or must be any book by Lisa Kleypas.

As with all challenges in this group, you get to decide how to make it work! Do you want to read 1 book from each genre list? Go for it! Do you want to read all the books in 1 genre? Have at it!! Or maybe you'll choose to read all the books by Lisa Kleypas that are part of that list... whatever you want! Make it work for you!

If you're interested, sign up below and I'll add your name and update your stats as you go.

Dhes' Lisa's Ladies' Favorites Book Challenge

I haven't yet decided how many I'm going to read, but I am REALLY going to shoot for 1 book from each genre for the year.

I'm interested!

You're in, Susan!

I'll join too.

Got you listed, Carolyn!!!

I'm in too, Dhes! I just need to decide how to approach this. Will keep you posted. Thanks for bringing that wonderful list back into play. ��

I am new to Lisa Kleypas...but really enjoyed the ones I have read so far...next year I hope to read atleast one other series/genre she has written (in between textbooks and grading papers).

You're welcome, Lisa Kay, and thank YOU for ALWAYS being so supportive of the challenges!!

Heather, does that mean you're in for this challenge? We're pretty flexible here in the Not Too Challenging Challenges! I think you'd enjoy yourself!

I'm in and will go look at the list.

Question: If I counted correctly, there are nine genres here. Not a lot under Steampunk and Sci-fi. Is it alright to choose a book from a series in which the first book is listed? I'm thinking of .

Good question, I was wondering the same thing!

Yes, Lisa Kay and Alycia. I'll add that to the rules. As we did with the Halloween challenge, ANY book in a series listed on the Lisa's Ladies' Favorites List can count.

Ok, tanks.. Going to update my list.

If I hadn't been so lazy I would have reposted the list here... let me know if you think the link isn't enough.

I think the link is good.

No, the link is good, Dhes. I don't think you need to repost. ...hmmm... You could make it bold!

That's a good idea... I'll make it bold and post it at the bottom because the Adrien Monk in me can't have a bold font in the middle of the normal font.

Sorry. LOL!!

I'm in to Dhes!
The link was a good idea.. a lot of the books I really want to read now!
I just gotta figure out how to approach the challenge:)

I'm in too. Here's my list:

0/20 January 1st 2012 to December 31st 2012

Dhes! I love the Defective Detective! LOL! Looks perfect, BTW.

Isn't he the best??? Sometimes I'll walk by a post, or a car antenna, and reach out and touch it, in honor of him!! What can I say? It's a blessing... and a curse.

I'll do this too. And I'll go for 20 and I'm going to try for at least 1 in each category.

Wow, Desiree, you're doing great!

I'm in for 24! Two books per month sounds doable considering my current RL demands. That doesn't mean I'm going to read two books each month, I might read four in one month and read none in another. Thank goodness this is a not too challenging challenge, LOL.
