We all have/had them, either as a dreaded highschool mandatory reading list, or even if you just want to read the classics that are interminably long. They are Chunksters, an adult of YA, non-fiction, or fiction book that is 450 pages of more. There aren't any levels for this challenge, but my goal is to read 10 Chunksters.
Rules
for this challenge:
- Audio books and e-books are now allowed. You want to listen to a chunkster on audio? Be my guest.
- Essay, short story, and poetry collections are allowed but they have to be read in their entirety to count.
- Books may crossover with other challenges.
- Anyone can join.
- You don’t have to list your book ahead of time.
- Graphic novels don’t count. Sorry guys but reading a chunkster graphic novel isn’t the same as reading a non-graphic chunkster
I’ve
been thinking long and hard about the levels of participation that have always
been a part of this challenge. This year we’re going to try something new: there won’t be any levels.
Don’t
get me wrong. This is still a reading challenge. Challenge yourself without
being locked in to a certain number. If you didn’t read any chunksters in 2013
and want to change that in 2014, come up with a number and try to read that
amount.
I
understand that chunksters can be a bit intimidating. My goal is to encourage
as many people as possible to give chunksters a try. We all love short books because
we can get through them in a sitting or a few days. It’s different with
chunksters. With chunksters, you have to slow down and take your time. The
Chunkster Challenge is all about having fun and reading good books.
All I ask is that
participants either write a post or leave a comment in the comments section
letting the world know your goal. Mr. Linky is acting up so if you write a post, leave a link in the comment section.
