I thought of a neat new idea for a challenge and here it is! This is my first one. If there are any other challenges like this one going on please let me know and I will change it!
This challenge is all about getting to know the thief. You may pick how many books to read (since I know a lot of you have many other books to read!):
1-3 books ~ Pickpocket
3-6 books ~ Candy Shoplifter
6-9 books ~Bank Robber
9-12+ books ~ Grand Thief
Guidelines/Rules/Notes
- The book can be of any genre (fiction or nonfiction) but must have some relation to thieves/theft. The book can have the word “Thief” in the title, can be about thieves, can involve a scene where something is stolen, etc. Use your imagination if necessary.
- Since this started later in the year, any thief-related books may be added to your current list.
- Please sign up with Mr. Linky. Make sure the link you added leads to your list/post not just your blog.
- Please feel free to use books you read here for other challenges too!
- It’s not required for you to pre-list your books
- The challenge begins today and ends December 31st, 2009

If I can find some books in my library that qualify I will join you in this challenge. It’s a great idea.
If you haven’t read The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, I recommend it highly.

Ooh I like this challenge. I’m off to figure out what I might want to read. I’ll probably post a tentative list tomorrow.
