Because Two Book Challenges Isn't Enough...

If you follow me with any type of regularity, you may remember that I signed up to participate for my 3rd round of Megan's Semi-Charmed Summer 2015 Book Challenge. (Go here to see my last progress update!)

  

Well, obviously, committing myself to one book challenge just wasn't enough, so I decided to give Erin's Book Challenge a second go. This is my preliminary list for her challenge:

(July 8, 2015) 5 points // Any book that is at least 200 pages long | Down the Rabbit Hole by Holly Madison

(July 22, 2015) 10 points // A book with one of the following words in the title: "girl(s)," "boy(s)," "wo(man)," "wo(men)" | The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

(July 7, 2015) 10 points // A book with a three word title | Looking for Alaska by John Green 

(July 1, 2015) 15 points // A book with a number in the title | The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

(August 9, 2015) 20 points // A book that begins with the first letter of your last name | Summer Sisters by Judy Blume (416 pages, ★★★★★) 

20 points // A book set in Latin America | Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel

25 points // A book by any of the female authors featured in this Time magazine article | Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

30 points // A book of short stories | When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris

30 points // A book that was a Newberry Award winner | The Giver by Lois Lowry

(August 4, 2015) 35 points // A banned/challenged book | The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie  (230 pages, ★★★★★)

However, because I'm a batshit crazy and woefully unrealistic bookworm, when Kristen at See You in a Porridge announced she would be co-hosting her own book challenge, I clearly had no choice but to sign on for a third book challenge. These were the books I chose for Kristen's challenge:

(June 28, 2015) A YA book | We Were Liars by E. Lockhart (227 pages, ★)

(July 1, 2015) Non-US Author | The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith (235 pages, ★★★★)

(August 2, 2015) A book that was recommended by a blogger (or Instagrammer / YouTuber / Goodreads-er) | Little Bee by Chris Cleave (Amber @ Mr. Thomas and Me) (266 pages, ★★★★★)

A book that has been on your TBR list for a year or more | The Garden of Burning Sand by Corban Addison

A book with a kickass female character | Legend by Marie Lu

(August 16, 2015) A book that is or will be a movie (or TV show) | Me Before You by Jojo Moyes (269 pages, ★★★★★)

(July 8, 2015) A book written by a comedian or celebrity – or even a memoir if neither of those are your jam | Down the Rabbit Hole by Holly Madison (352 pages, ★★★)

(August 7, 2015) A book with a one word title | Undeniable by Bill Nye (309 pages, ★★★★★)

(July 22, 2015) A suspenseful book – a mystery, a thriller, a book about revenge! | The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins (323 pages, ★★★)

(August 9, 2015) A book about Summer, with Summer in the title, or in any way related to Summer because this is a Summer challenge! | Summer Sisters by Judy Blume (416 pages, ★★★★★) 

Clearly, I have issues.

Please send help.
