Chunkster Challenge 2008


Dana is hosting the Chunkster Challenge this year.

The Rules:
  • To qualify the book must be 450 pps regular type OR 750 pps large text.
  • You must read FOUR chunksters (one each quarter), you OBVIOUSLY may read more
  • The Challenge will run Jan 7th, 2008 - Dec 20th, 2008 (the only chunky thing occupying my mind over Christmas is ME! AND I am using my foresight remembering my inbox on Dec 31st/ Jan 1 of THIS year when all the challenges ended). BUT any chunkster started after Jan 1 qualifies.
  • OH THERE WILL BE PRIZES - one a quarter. Prizes to be determined later ( so making the rules on the fly here, peeps). Think small and fun, not big and chunky.
  • Sharing reviews mandatory, format still to be determined.

To join the challenge you need to leave a comment at Dana's blog confirming your interest before March 1.

The books:


As I look at my TBR shelf, there are a load of books that I could nominate for this challenge. I am going to start with the following but may end up substituting other books later:

Wolf of the Plains by Conn Iggulden (560 pages)

Human Traces by Sebastian Faulks (618 pages)

A Place Beyond Courage by Elizabeth Chadwick (544 pages)

Shadowbrook by Beverly Swerling (512 pages)


I do so love big books!
