Back to the Classics 2013

Bloggeren Sarah er for tredje år på rad vertskap for leseutfordringa Back to the Classics. Selv om jeg liker godt å lese klassikere, og har dem på leselista mi, så er det veldig lett å sette dem til side når det kommer til stykket ... Så da jeg så denne utfordringen hos Elida, tenkte jeg at dette var midt i blinken for meg! og så er jeg veldig glad for at det var en fullstendig overkommelig mengde bøker, for litt realistisk må man jo være ;) Og jeg er ikke verre enn at jeg er glad for det jeg klarer, og så kan resten bare være ... Always look on the bright side of life :)

Jeg klipper og limer fra Saras blogg:

I am making a few small changes this year, including requiring less categories to complete. Wait, did I say *requiring*? Yes, I did. This year will feature 6 required categories that all participants must complete. Then, I will have additional categories that those super-motivated participants can choose to complete if they'd like. All reviews must be linked on the appropriate pages again, and those will be listed on the left hand side of this page. When you've finished, you will also need to link a wrap-up post. Everyone who completes the 6 required categories and the wrap up post will be entered to win a $30US Amazon.com gift card or choice of book(s) from The Book Depository. Any one who completes 3 categories from the optional list will earn one additional entry into the prize drawing. Any one who completes all 5 categories from the optional list will earn two additional entries into the prize drawing.

• All books must be read in 2013. Books started prior to January 1, 2013 are not eligible. Reviews must be linked by December 31, 2013.
• E-books and audio books are eligible! Books can count for other challenges you may be working on.
• If you do not have a blog, you may link your review from Goodreads or other publicly accessible online format.
• Please sign up for the challenge using the linky below BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1, 2013. Please link to your sign-up announcement post (if possible/applicable)
• You do not have to list your books prior to starting the challenge, but it is more fun that way :) You can always change your list at any time. You can read the books in any order (including mixing in the optional categories at any time)
• You can decide to attempt the optional categories at any point (you can also bow out of the optional categories at any point as well).
• Please identify the categories you've read in your wrap up post so that I may easily add up your entries for the prize drawing!
