Wendy at Caribousmom and Vasilly at 1330V have again teamed up to host the Chunkster Challenge, one of my favorites, even if I am not so good at completing it.
2013 is the fourth year that I am participating in this challenge, which involves reading books with a minimum of 450 pages. I am signed up for the "Plump Primer" level to read six chunksters before the end of the year.
BOOKS READ

I tried doing a chunkster challenge last year and never quite made it. Although, I have to say I am glad one exists for 2013 in case I do make it through some of the chunksters I probably will read anyway. So it's good to know I can sign up for one if I happen to get into my chunksters. Thanks :)
Lonesome Dove is fan-freaking-tastic. Read it last year, and utterly loved it. Unfortunately heard the sequels aren't up to par, but you should put that one to the top of your list.
My friend Birgit is hosting a Tea and Books challenge here:

Elemillia: I've done this challenge for the last three years, but 2012 was the first year I finished. Now, I think I am on a roll.
Carin: I really meant to read LD last year and didn't. Thanks for the nudge!
Ally: The Tea & Books challenge is wonderful! I did it last year, although I fell one book short of my goal. I think I will sign up again, now that Carin reminded me to read Lonesome Dove.
