The Telling Tales Reading Challenge 2012

I’ve just realised that in my end of year hype I got a tiny bit carried away signing up for new challenges and forgot to actually decide what to do for the one I’m co hosting.

I can’t decide which category sounds best so I’ve decided to let my indecisive nature free and do a bit of each one, that way at least I’ll have variation can only think of about three films at present that are based on books that come in to any of these categories, but I’m sure I’ll find more as I go along. If the worst comes to the worst I’ll just settle for having several Disney marathons. I’m gonna aim to complete level 3, which sounds fairly achievable but we shall see.
