Challenge Updates
With it being October, I’m looking at my reading challenges to see where I was at and it’s not as bad as I thought it was. I really thought I’ve been slacking on a lot of these, but if I don’t use the list I came up with when I […]
Challenges
Readers Imbibing Peril Challenge – 4th Edition
It’s that time of year again. It’s time for Stainless Steel Droppings Readers Imbibing Peril Challenge! This is my second time doing this challenge (even though this is its fourth year) and I had a blast last year. So here are the basic rules of the challenge: R.I.P. IV runs […]
That Monster TBR Stack Challenge
I’m tired of looking at my TBR stack. When I first started Literary Escapism, I had maybe 5 books waiting for me to read. That was on a good week. I can’t say that anymore. This is what I am currently dealing with: I’m not liking it. There are just […]
Once Upon a Time
What can I say, I’m a sucker for Carl’s (of Stainless Steel Droppings) challenges. He always puts on a good one and I love his topics, so here’s another one I’m doing. This one only runs for a couple of months, and it’s fairly easy, so I’m not worried about […]
Books & Movies
The 23rd edition of the Bookworms Carnival was posted over at The Bluestocking Society, where the theme was literature and film or books to movies, basically including books adapted into movies, movies adapted from books, books about movies, movies about books, etc. This is a great topic and if I […]
Bookworms Carnival: Anthologies
I am very disappointed in the book blogosphere today. For my edition of the bookworms carnival, I chose the theme of anthologies since it’s a great way to introduce people to new authors and there are so many great genres out there, I thought it would be great to introduce […]

Does anyone want a free book? I am happy to announce that the New Author Challenge now has a sponsor – Glue. So what does this mean for the challenge? Easy, every participant in the New Author challenge will be entered to win a book of their choice from the […]
New Author Challenge Update
Holy crap….there are a ton of reviews over at the New Author challenge! As of today, there are 90 participants in my challenge (wow!) and between all of us, we’ve submitted 164 different reviews that were of authors new to us. That’s amazing and I can’t even begin to image […]
Wrap Up Post – 1st in a Series Challenge
The day before Thanksgiving and I finish another challenge. This time, it was the 1st in a Series, which was hosted by Thoughts of Joy. In accordance with my New Author challenge for 2008, this challenge worked beautifully since all of them were new to me. I really enjoyed reading […]
1st in Series Challenge & Paranormal 999 Challenge
And I’ve found the last two challenges I’m going to do in 2009. With the additional of these final 2 challenges, I’m giving myself a goal of reading 107 novels over the course of 2009. Since I’ve read 129 to date, it doesn’t seem like it’ll be that hard, plus […]
