Cupcake War Reading Challenge

I was not going to do anymore Reading Challenges, but I have to do this one.  So, this one is my fifth Reading Challenge, which is the Cupcakes War Reading Challenge.  I love this one.  Cupcake stands for   Come Up and Participate in the Challenge And Keep Earning Sweets  While Actively Reading!

What a way to get someone to read outside their normal genre (did I spell that correctly?)  I read mostly from Romance, but I have wanted to read from Mystery like I did when I was younger.  I love Christopher Pike back then.  I am going to have to think what I will read for Memoirs, Autobiographies, Inspirational, Debut Authors, & Southern Fiction.  Ok, I may need some help! I did find this link on Goodreads to help me.  Click here to find some books for some of the genres that you may need help with.  

 I am not sure how many yet.  I will make that up as I go.  The Juvenile Fiction I want to do with Noah.  We want to read the first 39 Clues Book.  Guess What?  I plan to do that in January!! I hope I can with all this unpacking.  Every Wednesday night Noah & I have a Reading Night.  I can not wait to get organized again!! 

Here it is.......
WHEN:    Throughout the months of 2012 –    Starting in January.
WHY:      Just for the fun of setting a different reading goal each month.
WHAT:     Reading a different reading genre each month and meeting goal.
WHERE:   Online
WHO:       Anyone that likes to challenge themselves to read by setting a goal.
HOW:       Signing up on Mr. Linky to participate in the Cupcakes War Challenge. 
Each month will have a designated genre to read. Sometimes it is easy to get in a rut and read the same kind of books.  This challenge will help you to choose different genres!  I hope that you decide to join the Challenge!
