Like UTC, are you Lisa Kleypas' number one fan? Or are you wondering who the hell Lisa Kleypas is? Well, if you belong to either extreme or somewhere in between the Krazy Klepas Reading Challenge 2012 is perfect for you!
Here’s the rundown:
1. The Krazy Kleypas Reading Challenge runs from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. You can join at anytime during the year. This is a 2012 challenge, so books read before then will not count to your progress.
2. Pick whichever category you like! You can get your feet wet and just do 1-3 books or develop a full blown obsession and try and read them all! You can change your mind at any time, if 1-3 books is not enough feel free to go on to the next category.
3. Re-reads are acceptable.
4. Readers without blogs can still participate! Keep track of your progress with Goodreads, Shelfari or LibraryThing.
To sign up:
1. Make a sign up post announcement, listing the category you've chosen and a list of books you plan to read. If you don't have a blog, post on GoodReads or other site as a thread where we can access your list of books. Be sure to take the image code above.
2. Come back here and using the list below, add your entry with a link directly to that post so we can see what you'll be reading.
You're done! Every month during 2012 we will make a challenge update post where you can come and updates us on how you're doing with your challenge.

I'm in! Love Kleypas and I'm "re-reading" via my ears as a lot of her books come out on audiobooks.
ReplyDeleteI've never participated in a challenge, I guess I could do a re-listen of her audiobooks, I'm not really sure how it works, but whatever it is I'm in...lol
ReplyDeleteOk. I'll pop Kleypas cherry!!! Eeeek!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! Count me in!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating girls!
ReplyDeleteAnd @Lupdilup you just have to make a post on your blog saying you're participating and pick a level from above depending the amounts of books you want to challenge yourself to read. A list of the books you'll read would be nice as well in your post. Use the image code above. And then come back every month to update us on your progress, we will have a post every month to see how every one is doing.
i'm in and i was wondering can we read any book for this challenge?...cause i have some amazing books coming my way and would love to include them in this...
ReplyDeleteI'm a Category 5! A lot are re-reads but I will still have fun re reading them!
ReplyDeleteYay great idea! I'm going for category #4, I've been wanting to read some of her back-list historicals for what seems like forever! I'm shooting for 12, 1 book a month...it'll of course include a full Travis series reread!
ReplyDelete@AlreadyAddicted Yes, any book will do. But it must be a Lisa Kleypas book since it is a Kleypas themed challenge. Any of her books count towards your goal.
ReplyDeleteYay Brittany!
And maybe I'll reread Travises too, Jess! You know how much I love that series!
Ann
And...Oops! I'll delete and redo my linky with the challenge post direct link when it goes up later this week :)
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna try to pop my cherry! I haven't chosen my books yet but I have a shelf for them on GR
ReplyDeleteOMG. *looks around* I might as well pop my Kleypas cherry. *closes eyes, opens one eye and notices the glares from the UTC ladies* Um, I'm going to take the plunge with Quinn and Kleypas next year. Double teaming of sorts.
ReplyDeleteI read my first Kleypas novel this year and absolutely loved it! I think I'm going to go for level 2, and read the rest of her Wallflowers series and possibly Hathaways also. :D
