I decided to join in for the Semi-Charmed Book Challenge!

This challenge is run by Megan from the blog Semi Charmed Kind of Life.

You can view the full set of rules at the link, but basically:

The challenge will run from May 1, 2015, to August 31, 2015. Each book has to be at least 200 pages and you can only re-read a maximum of three books.

There are a set of categories to complete and earn points (with a maximum of 200 points). Did I mention that I love point systems?

I want to make a preliminary list, but there are some challenges I can’t fit any books into, so maybe someone can help me?

Here it goes:

I’m giving myself more than one option for some categories, but I know that I don’t have to read all of them to complete the challenge. In fact, only one of these will count towards points, even if I read all of them. 

5 points: Freebie! Read any book that fits the general rules.

So basically any book with over 200 pages that I start after May 1st.

10 points: Read a book you have never heard of before. (Just go to a shelf and pick a book based on the cover, the title, whatever you want!)

The Blemished (won on the YA Spring Fling giveaway, never heard of it before)

10 points: Read a book that has been on your TBR list for at least two years. (If you've had a Goodreads account for 2+ years, this will be easy to figure out. If you don’t, do your best to pick a book you’re pretty sure you’ve been wanting to read for years.)

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

10 points: Read a book that won a Goodreads “Best Book” award in 2014.

The Martian All The Light We Cannot See

15 points: Read a book by an author who is completely new to you.

15 points: Read a book by an author you have read before. (No re-reads for this one.)

Clockwork Prince

15 points: Read a book with "light" or "dark" in the title. (Or "lightness" or "darkness.”)

Darkness of Light All The Light We Cannot See Dark Genesis A Darker Shade of Magic The Darkest Part of the Forest Dark Places

20 points: Read a book with the name of a city, state or country in the title.

20 points: Read a book with an animal on the cover.

The Raven Boys

25 points: Read a book that is part of a series with at least four books.

25 points: Read a book that is longer than 500 pages long. — Submitted by winter finisher Kristen from See You in a Porridge.

The Well of Ascension

30 points: Read a book with an alliterative title. (All words in the title must begin with the same letter; no exceptions for articles or prepositions. Examples: Gone Girl or Nicholas Nickleby. Yes, this is tough, which is why it's worth the most points!)

Help me out guys! Do you have any recommendations for the categories I left blank? Or even for the ones I didn’t - maybe you have a really awesome book that you love that fits with them?
