Yay!!! Veens and Nidhi are back with their book blog, and I am so happy about it! I missed your bubbly enthusiasm for reading, gals, when you were not there! I love the way you explore books. 
Glad to have you back!

20 Point Challenges
Read a book in a series AND the one after it
Read a Danielle Steele AND a Maeve Binchy book

Read a book considered Christian Fiction
Read a book of your choice BUT read it outside
250 Points total
Sounds damn interesting and fun! I would love to do this along with the OT ‘09 Challenge, but for my time constraints. 
I guess I’ll not join in the challenge as such, but do the reading without the time frame attached to it. So, I’ll be starting on this soon! You wanna join the club?

Looks a nice challenge. Just two things are serious impediments for me – time and the money I’ve to spend in getting the books suitable for the above catgories
