Karen's Book Nook

Since I just started reading Janet Evanovich and am reading the Stephanie Plum novels in order, there’s no better time to join a challenge. It’s being sponsored by J.Kaye’s Book Blog.

Guidelines:

1) The goal is to get caught up on the Stephanie Plum series, so create a list of the books you haven’t read yet. You have between now and December 31, 2010. Don’t include books you’ve read prior to or started before 7/23/09.

2) This reading challenge is for participants with a blog. If you decide to participate in the 2009/2010 Stephanie Plum Reading Challenge, create a post on your blog telling others about this event. In your post, be sure to include the link to this post on your blog. That way others can find their way here and join in the fun.

3) If you want to have your reading list on your blog’s right sidebar, then please include a link to this post.

4) Audio and eBooks count.

5) You can join anytime between now and the later part of next year.

6) When you sign up under Mr. Linky, list the direct link to your post where your library books will be listed. If you list just your blog’s URL, it will be removed. If you don’t have a blog, leave the URL blank.

7) Books to be published after signing up do not have to be listed. This is optional.

There will be a place for you to link your reviews, but this is optional.

9) When you have completed your number of the Stephanie Plum books, link your completed list to the completed page. One will be set up.

10)If you have any questions, feel free to ask below or email me at jkayeoldner@yahoo.com. Comments usually get a quicker response.

**Since I read my FIRST book just last month they all qualify for the challenge. I’ve got two down, one on hold at the library,  and lots to go!

Starting a new audio book to listen to while I work around the house and get things done this weekend. The Last Jihad is  the first in a series by Joel C. Rosenberg

About the book:

The book that started it all, The Last Jihad is the first of Joel C. Rosenberg’s New York Times best-selling series, with 500,000 in print. The first page puts readers in the cockpit of a hijacked jet on a kamikaze mission into an American city–but it was written nine months before 9/11/01. As the plot unfolds, White House advisors Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy are under attack in Jerusalem as the U.S. goes to war with Iraq over weapons of mass destruction–but The Last Jihad was published four months before the actual Iraq war began.
