Just comment here if you want to join in and come back July 1st for the first post! It will be under one of the tabs on the top of the page.
I will be joining! I don’t have a great track record of finishing it, but love the challenge anyway!
I’ll definitely join in. Have really enjoyed the T4M3.
Yay! another challenge. I’ve got one book to read before June 30 to complete part 3.
I am new to your site but love it! I will certainly be joining this one and hope to earn all sorts of points. Thanks!
Looking forward to this challenge. Will sign up for the 20 point challenge (part 4). Thanks for hosting such a fun sounding challenge.

Hi there. I’m glad you are joining in. I should probably clarify a few things. You actually do all the sections – and try to get as many of the 250 available points as possible. I hope that makes sense…
M.
I’m in for Part 4! Am loving this challenge!
Looks like so much fun! I’m definitely going to try this one
Count me in again!
I’m going to have a go – sounds like fun!
You know what? I’m in. I like the options and levels in this one. BUT there’s a catch. I must finish one of my current challenges before July 1. I’ve got to get these challenges under control some kind of way. Is there a “Finish the Challenge” Challenge?
I’ll join in again, can’t miss my 4th straight attempt.
I’m joining. Wish me good luck, I really don’t have a good supply of books right now. No bookstore budget for me.
I’m definitely in. Starting from day 1 this time, and already have books in mind for part of it. I really enjoyed Part 3. Wish I’d known about these before.Loads of fun. Thank you.
Yes, I want to join again! I love these challenges even though I have difficulty completing all the sections.
Thanks for all your work putting these together.
I know it’s July 1 somewhere in the world although it’s only 5:30 p.m. PDT here in Edmonds, WA. Am officially signing up for this cool challenge. I plan to do the 20 point challenge.
Read a book in a series AND the one after it – The Secret of the Old Clock & The Hidden Staircase – Carolyn Keene
Read a book that was a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction – Tinkers – Paul Harding
Read a book considered Christian fiction – At Home in Mitford – Jan Karon
Read a book from the Modern Library Top 100 – Charlotte’s Web – E. B. White
Read a book by an author born in July, August, September or October – Stuart Little – E. B. White (b. 7/11/1899)
Hi there and thanks for joining. Actually, how it works is, you try to read a book for each category and try to get as many of the 250 possible points as you can. So, you can pick and choose from any category!
I hope that helps explain it
I’m in again
Here’s my sign-up post: http://my-book-obsession.blogspot.com/2010/07/four-month-challenge-part-4.html
I know we’re a tad late, but can we still take part in this? Pretty please?
This sounds like a really nice challenge, after all!
Of course! You can join at any time – even during the last week if you want. Though I wouldn’t recommend it :p
Well, I’m a little late, but better late than never, right? This is the first challenge I’ve ever joined, and I’m really a slow reader and very OCD about my reading list, so my goal is just to keep track of what I’ve already planned to read and see how many categories those reads will fall into. I’m easing into it, so to speak. How exciting!
Thanks for joining! And don’t worry about being late or being a slow reader. I haven’t even finished books I started reading last month so I’m behind, too!
Even though I’m a bit late, I’m still going to give this a go!

I’m horrendously late for this one but I still want to try it out. This is going to be my first challenge, woo hoo! I do have a question, though: if a book falls in two categories, could I count it for both or must it only fall under one?
Sounds wicked, can’t wait to see how this goes.
Well — I think I finished this challenge. To see the details go to my blog. I read 15 books and have 185 points.
I must say it was really fun & I loved the variety it offered. Can’t wait for the next segment. Good work Martina!
Well, I got 95 points this time! I can’t wait for the next segment. Thanks for coming up with these challenges. It makes me read many books that I may not have read otherwise.
