2013 READ BIG CHALLENGE [ WRAP-UP POST ]

2013 CHUNSTERS READING CHALLENGE

[ WRAP-UP POST ]

From my TBRR Pile, there is a huge ‘sexy-books-collections’ – that’s how we called books with more than 500 pages. And Dessy give us an opportunity to (finally) read several of those pile, by this Chunsters Reading Challenge. Combine with event on Read-A-Long event with fellow books blogger, I manage to read a significant title, from Dickens to Rowling, Dumas to Defoe, even Nora Roberts, Sandra Brown, Mary Balogh and Cecelia Ahern. Who said a Chunsters RC is scary ? Well, if you reading by your-self, probabling it’s gonna takes forever, but reading with others, is so much fun and it will surprise on how quick you will get until the last page (^0^) ... I really like this challenge, adn (still) hoping that Dessy will do it again in 2014. Anyway, thanks again to Dessy for hosting this event in 2013.
