The Lost Challenges discussion

I came across a list in a magazine of the Top 15 jobs that kids want to do when they grow up and it inspired me to create this challenge. This challenge requires you to read books relating to each of the professions listed. For each profession there are 3 tasks.

Choose your level:

Level 1 - Apprentice- 1 task per profession
Level 2 - Hired Hand - 2 tasks per profession
Level 3 - The Boss - 3 tasks per profession

Duration: Set your own target depending on your reading speed.

(N.B - For the "word in the title..." tasks, the word can be in the series name instead).

RULES

*To count a book towards a challenge you must read the majority of it after the start date of the challenge.
*Each book may only be used for one task
*For each book that you read please post a link to the book, the author and the date you finished it.
* Where more than one option is given for a task, please state which option your book relates to.
*Please explain briefly how your book fits a task.
*If the task relates to the cover of your book, please post the cover AND the book link.
*All genres and formats are fine.
*Re-reads are allowed.
*No page minimum.
*Please update your original post as you go but also post an occasional message to let us know how you're getting on, if you would like to.

*When you have finished please re-post your whole challenge as a new message or you will not be considered to have completed the challenge and we will not be able to award your Hall of Fame badge

(Even if you don't hit the level you were aiming for by the deadline, please re-post your challenge anyway as you may still be eligible for a lower level badge.)

Welcome Agnieszka - and good luck!

Penni & Caroline,

I wanted to ask if you would mind if I would expand the challenge a little bit. I thought something along the lines to collect a list of at least 50 job names plus create for each three tasks to make it more interesting/challenging? I would than change my goal to at least 120 books and go for a duration of a year.

I have no problem with that but I'm not a mod, I just came up with the challenge, so I'll leave it up to Penni :)

Maybe it would be better to start a new thread so that people could choose between doing the original or expanded versions without getting confused?

I might be interested but agree with Caroline that a new thread would be better.
