Host: KMont from Lurv a la Mode
Challenge: Determine a number of fantasy books to read and then read them in 2012.
My goal: Read 6 fantasy novels in 2012.
Time Frame: January 1 to December 31, 2012
I am signing up for this reading challenge for three distinct reasons.
I lurv the challenge graphic.
I lurv KMont.
I lurv fantasy fiction.
It seems I love the fantasy books I read, but oddly enough... I don't actively seek those books out as often as I should. This challenge will hopefully encourage and inspire me to be more consistent with that in 2012.
All excellent reasons to do this challenge, right? Why not join us?

There are some great books on your list! I haven't read Enchantment, The Bell at Sealey Head, or Heart's Blood, but I liked the rest of those, especially The Broken Kingdoms, Fire, Eona, and A Game of Thrones.
ReplyDeleteI love fantasy also and loved the Cashore books. I hope you will also!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on this challenge.
I love Fantasy books and just bought one yesterday. Can't wait to see how you do on your challenge!
ReplyDeleteSo, so tempted...as I have a few fantasy books on my TBR list, including my Big Book...
ReplyDeleteKristen, I'm looking forward to all of those books on my list. I'll get to all of them eventually... Maybe I'll inspire you to read some of the ones you haven't gotten to!
ReplyDeletePeaceful Reader, would you believe I have had Cashore's books on my TBR for a couple of years now?
Brandy, I know your daughter loves fantasy too. Do you sometimes read the same books? I loved when my girls did that, but it doesn't happen often anymore.
orannia, you should do it! KMont is letting each person set up their own goal for this one. You can say you'll read ONE. Or THREE. ... Or TEN. You decide. :)
