* The Challenge will run from January 1st to December 31, 2014.

* Challengees must read at least one book from each category (listed below).  Challengees must read a DIFFERENT book for each category – even if your book title might fit a number of categories, it will only count towards a single category.  Challengees are free to choose which category best suits.

* Books selected must be aimed at a target age range of under-18, so anything from cloth books to Young Adult is acceptable.  Books can be any format you like – print, audio, ebook – and any genre.  Alternatively, books could be ABOUT children – for example, parenting books, or memoirs about children

* The categories listed are a loose guide and creative interpretation of the categories is not only encouraged, but applauded. Loudly.

* Challengees should link their reviews/progress under the relevant linky lists on this page.  If you don’t have a blog, you could link to your Goodreads shelf/reviews, or simply comment on this page as you go.

*Feel free to display the challenge button (html for which is in the sidebar) and share about the challenge wherever you like!

  12. Why, this is interesting. I left a comment right behind Stanley and Katrina, or so I thought. Well, once again, I am joining this interesting challenge, I mean safari. I had my hat and a big pen ready to hunt down these books, but those were lost with the original comment. Now I do not know what I will do.

    Do have a question. The challenge, sorry, safari runs all year: twelve months. There are only 8 categories. Wouldn’t it be good to have twelve so we are forced to read one category a month. And then we can see who returned from the safari safe and well-read and who got eaten by the l ions while trying. Just a thought. I hope this is not lost. I don’t’ think I could write another comment. 🙂

    • I did consider having twelve but then decided a gentle introduction to Safari travel was probably a wiser idea. But it’s something to think about for next year – I also considered having a monthly challenge with a different theme or genre each time, but it all seemed too much like hard work. For some reason, eight seems far more user-friendly than twelve…
      And I did get your first comment – I even replied! Not sure what has happened there, I will check my comments feed.
