Are you ready to take the challenge!?!
The goal of this challenge is to read books by matching antonyms in the title. To help you out, here is a link to a couple of web sites to get you started: Opposite Word and Thesaurus.
Your books can be of any genre and any format (ie. paperback, ebook, audiobook, etc.). No short stories. Re-reads and crossovers from other reading challenges are fine. (Re-read reviews must be written within the year 2012; you can not use old reviews.)
You can list your books in advance or list them as you read them. The idea of this challenge came from a Goodreads group.
**Anyone can join. You don't need a blog to participate.
**Non-Bloggers: Sign up in the comments section. Post your reviews with other book sites (ie. Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, Shelfari, etc.) and post the link in the comments section of the Antonym Reading Challenge Review Link. (will post January 1).
Example:
hot/cold
Hot: Hot Ice by Nora Roberts
Cold: Cold Fire by Dean Koontz
Bonus: Hot Flashes and Cold Cream by Diann Hunt
mean/generous
Mean: Lean Mean Thirteen by Janet Evanovich
Generous: The Generous Wife by Lori Byerly
**the bonus is not required. it's totally up to you if you want to complete a bonus**

What a fun idea! I was amazed at how many antonym books I have sitting on my shelves (which will work out quite nicely for my Mount TBR Challenge). I'm in! {Like I could really resist a challenge...}
Update! Found enough in my TBR stacks to upgrade to the Doctorate level!
I love this idea! I just signed up. This will be fun! :)
Great idea, especially for those of us who love words... Count me in!
Neat challenge!
Question: The challenge levels are missing 11, 21, and 31 books. Which levels do those fit into?
@Darlene
11: Diploma
21: Bachelors
31: Masters
Since it takes two books to complete a set, the odd numbers (11, 21, 31) would mean you completed a bonus but not enough books to level up.
Hope that helps...
How fun! Luckily, I started out 2012 with the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld, so I already have Uglies and Pretties! lol I guess I could do Specials and Extras, too, but those are only antonyms in the books, not in the Webster dictionary. :)
Finished: Here's the Wrap Up Post
