TV Addict Reading Challenge

K, just look at that challenge name...does that not describe me to a T? I'm so obsessed with TV and I love reading so when I saw this challenge over at Belle's Bookshelf  I just had to sign up for it.

The idea is to read a series of books that a TV show is based on. Belle has a list on her blog you should go check it out and join us...you know you want to. ;)

I'm actually going to just read one series and it's one that's not even on her list.


I watched this show on TV this summer and while it's a little hokey I'm interested to see how the books compare. So, yes, I've signed up for another challenge even though I said I wasn't doing any. :) Where's my willpower?!

    That's not bad though! There's only the three books in that series. It's like a mini challenge. :)

    Sounds fun of course! The challenges will keep tempting you I promise! Just give in. It makes life easier. :) I'm going to go look at the list now and see if anything really REALLY jumps out at me.

    Sounds like a great challenge! I can't wait to hear what you think of the series of books, I have been pondering reading them for a while now.

    Jessica, No, it's not, but I don't want to stress myself so one series it is.

    Suey, Yeah, pretty much if it's something I was going to do anyway, I'll do it.

    Ang, My hopes are pretty low so maybe I'll end up liking them. ;)

    Jenni, Isn't it?! I hope I like them too. I own all three books so I feel obligated to read them. I hope I don't regret it.

    Oooh good idea! Especially as more and more books are being turned into tv shows. If I hadn't already read them, I'd sign up and read The Vampire Diaries books for it! Awesome challenge idea

    This is def a reading challenge suited to you Jenny! All the series that I like are about 5-6 books long. I've never watched The Nine Lives of Chloe King before...will have to check it out.

    YAY, thanks for joining! D'oh, how could I forget about Chloe King?! Well, I haven't seen the show, so that might be why. But I totally want to read the series/see the show! Can't wait to see what you think of it :)

    Cait, I know it's a great idea. I need to read the last Vampire Diaries to finish that series.

    Lan, The show was pretty bad but it did make me want to read the books. And there's only 3 small ones in the series.

    Belle, Thanks for thinking up the idea. I think it's going to be a fun challenge!

    LOL, I said I wasn't going to do any challenges this year - but I've found 5 that I really want to sign up for! I just know that I'm going to end up giving in ;)

    Good luck with this challenge. It sounds a lot of fun :)

    I remember loving Chloe King in high school...but then again that was like 5 years ago so my tastes may have changed drastically since then! I'll be interested to see what you think about it since my memory is somewhat foggy. I watched the tv show and did notice some differences from what I could remember, but I still enjoyed it (hokeyness and all!)
