Wondering what’s a chunkster? A chunkster is an adult or YA book, non-fiction or fiction, that’s 450 pages or more.
Rules for this challenge:
- Audio books and e-books are now allowed. You want to listen to a chunkster on audio? Be my guest.
- Essay, short story, and poetry collections are allowed but they have to be read in their entirety to count.
- Books may crossover with other challenges.
- Anyone can join.
- You don’t have to list your book ahead of time.
- Graphic novels don’t count. Sorry guys but reading a chunkster graphic novel isn’t the same as reading a non-graphic chunkster.
As I read a lot of chunksters, I can do this easily!

This is the fourth, and probably final, year of the
TBR Dare. Dakota and I started this little non-challenge four years ago and it's become something of a tradition for many of our longtime readers here at Ready When You Are, C.B. I wasn't sure about doing it again this year, now that I've gone into semi-retirement, but when I mentioned it last week, several people commented that they were looking forward to doing it again this year so.....
We were on schedule to have a triple dare this year since last year was the double dog dare, but I'm skipping ahead to the final ultimate level of school yard dare....the triple dog dare. There is no higher level of dare.
It's now or never.
Are you brave enough to take the dare?
The rules* are simple: read only books in your TBR pile or on your library reserve list as of January 1, 2014 for the entire months of January, February and March. The TBR Triple Dog Dare will end on April 1, 2014.

I was complaining that people don't sign up for challenges much anymore on another blog. So, I think I'm listen to my own words and sign up for one. Maybe the Chunkster challenge. I have a few very thick books on my TBR shelf.
James, I did not sign up for a single challenge in 2012 and 2013. My reading took a nose dive. This year I have signed a few!
Looks like some fun reading. I'm joining you on the Chunkster Challenge!
