\"Announcing
Take Another Chance Challenge Requirements, Instructions and Details<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

As you may have seen, the “Take Another Chance Challenge” was announced last month<\/a>. Many people have already contacted me, signed up and started the challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to read the “Take Another Chance Challenge” requirements, instructions and details before you begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the official requirements, rules and details of the challenge. Complete what you can. The goal is to broaden your literary horizons, discover talented authors and find new and interesting books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, there are three levels to this challenge. You can decide which one you will participate in. They vary in degrees of difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Three Participation Levels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Level 1:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Take a A Small Gamble: Complete any 3 of the 12<\/strong> challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level 2:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Take a Moderate Gamble: Complete any 6 of the 12<\/strong> challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level 3:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gambling It All: Complete all 12<\/strong> of the challenges described below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here we go…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Challenge 1: Read Your Doppelganger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Locate a writer whose name aligns with yours in some way, be it through shared initials, a common first or last name, or even an identical full name. Dive into one of their books and craft a commentary on it. (For those who value privacy on their blog, there’s no obligation to specify how the author’s name resonates with your own.) Click here for more detailed instructions on Challenge 1: Read Your Doppelganger<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge 2: Blogroll Roulette<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Discover a blogroll on your favorite book blog, or any other you admire, ensuring it lists at least 15 other book blogs. Head over to Random.org<\/a> and utilize its True Random Number Generator. Input the range from 1 (min.) to 15 (max.) and click generate. Identify the corresponding blog from the number you’re given on your selected blogroll (For instance, if the generated number is 8, navigate to the eighth blog on the list). Visit this chosen blog, select a book from their reviewed collection, read it, and craft a review on your own blog. Don’t forget to credit the original blog where you discovered the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge 3: 100 Best Books<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Select from one of the options below and follow the accompanying link. Pick a book you haven’t explored previously. After reading, share your insights and thoughts on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rival 100 Best Novels by Radcliffe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 100 Best Science Fiction Books Ever Written<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

100 Best Romance Novels of the 20th Century<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

100 Best Non-Fiction Books<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge 4: Prize Winner Book<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choose a prominent literary honor from the options below. Follow the provided link for your selected award. There, you’ll come across a concise overview of the award and references to its previous recipients. Select a book from a past awardee, delve into it, and pen your thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booker Prize<\/a>
Caldecott Medal<\/a>
National Book Award<\/a>
National Book Critics Circle Award<\/a>
Newbery Medal<\/a>
Nobel Prize for Literature<\/a>
PEN\/Faulkner Award<\/a>
Pulitzer Prize<\/a>
Commonwealth Writers’ Prize<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge 5: Title Word Count<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Visit Random.org and use the True Random Number Generator<\/a>. Set the range starting from 1 (min.) to 5 (max.) and press the generate button. Choose a book whose title contains the exact number of words as the generated number. After reading, share your thoughts and insights on the book. Click here for more detailed instructions on Challenge 5: Title Word Count<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge 6: Genre Switch-Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Visit The Ultimate List of Book Genres<\/a> and select a genre unfamiliar to you. Choose a book within that category, dive into its pages, and then pen your reflections on it. Tip: If every genre seems familiar, opt for the one that’s least aligned with your usual reading preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge 7: Break A Prejudice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We all have reading prejudices–authors we don’t like, genres we don’t like, or even publishers we don’t like. For this challenge, think of a reading prejudice you have and then find a book that is an example of this type of book. Read the book and then write about the reading prejudice you had BEFORE you read the book and how reading the book either changed your prejudice or reinforced it. Click here for more detailed instructions on Challenge 7: Break A Prejudice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge 8: Real and Inspired<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Numerous works of literature inspire subsequent authors to craft pieces that honor the foundational text. In this task, meet the challenge requirements and immerse yourself in an original piece and its inspired counterpart. Share your insights on both books in a single article. Reminder: This activity might necessitate some investigative effort on your end and since it entails reading two books, it counts for two entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge 9: Same Word, Different Book<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Select two books that share a common word in their titles. Dive into both narratives, and then pen your reflections on each. Note: As you’ll be exploring two books, this counts as two entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge 10: Become A Character<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this task, the choice of book is entirely up to you. The twist? Share your thoughts on the book from the perspective of one of its characters. This character could discuss their portrayal, interactions with other characters, untold tales, subsequent events, and more. You can even craft a dialogue where two characters converse! Let your creativity soar. Given the unique nature of this challenge, it equates to two entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge 11: All in the Family<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Literary talent frequently appears as a family trait. In this activity, identify two authors connected by family ties, be it through lineage or matrimony. Delve into a book by each writer, and then share your insights on both reads. Given that this task demands research and reading two distinct works, it counts for two entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge 12: Author Anthology Pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Select an anthology that intrigues you. Peruse a minimum of 5 pieces within it. From your readings, choose your most cherished piece. Seek out a full-length book authored by the creator of your preferred entry and immerse yourself in it. (If the writer of your top choice doesn’t have a standalone book, continue with your next favorite until you find one who does.) Discuss the anthology, the piece you favored most, and the book by the author of that piece. Given the endeavor of sourcing and exploring two books, this task merits two entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet the challenge requirements and join the fun today…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
