2013 Nicholas Sparks Reading Challenge

Reading Challenge Details:

• Runs January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2013 (books read prior to 1/1/2013 do not count towards the challenge). You can join at anytime.  Sign up on The Book Vixen’s blog.
• The goal is to read or re-read as many Nicholas Sparks novels as you’d like. See the different levels below and pick the one that works best for you. You can move up a level as often as you’d like but no moving down.
• Books can be any format (bound, ebook, audio).
• You can list your books in advance or list them as you read them. It is not required that you review the books you read for this challenge but feel free to do so.
• Re-reads and crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed.
• Grab the reading challenge button and post this reading challenge on your blog to track your progress. Please include a link back to this sign-up post so others can join the reading challenge too.

Have just been thinking about reading a couple of Nicholas Sparks books so this challenge will work in well with my TBR list.

With the Safe Haven movie due to be released in Australia on 14 February I might start with reading Safe Haven first.  I will also be able to include this in the Book To Movie challenge I have also signed up to participate in.

I am going to sign up for...
