So I had this idea ~ I'm itching to write something already, yet I'm not 100% sure of what I should write, or how a gothic literature novel should be like. So I thought, well.. the best way to know is to read one!
So, I was thinking for atleast the months of August and September, we can have reading challenges. If it seems to be a good idea then perhaps it can be all year long, every month, in preparation for October.
For now, I will start the challenge for August.
Put your name down if you want to participate, and if you already know it, the actual book you might read.
I'll add everyone to the list of participants in August. Then, as August goes along you can post or make your own threads, and tell everyone how you're doing, what you're reading, how far you've gotten, etc.
Any time you finish a book, post it in the 'finished' thread, and I will add it, along with your name and so on, to the list.
Any questions or suggestions? Just post them here.
