<h3>
Sign In and Challenge Rules</h3>
<br />
As
in the past, the <b>2014 Global Reading Challenge</b> (2014GRC) challenges you to
expand your reading boundaries, go where you haven't been before, move a
little outside your comfort zone.<br />
<br />
You may read any genre so long as the books are fiction.<br />
<br />
Decide which level you will attempt, although you can change that later if you wish.<br />
Use the Mr Linky below to sign up with your name, the level you intend to attempt, and your blog URL.<br />
<br />
Feel free to include the logo in your blog posts or on your blog (with a link to this page) <br />
<br />
Your reading will take place in the calendar year 2014.<br />
When
you are ready to add books to the Mr Linkies provided,
return to this blog and look the links to the specific pages for Continents on the right. There is a Mr Linky on each page. Feel free to leave comments too.<br />
