I just got promoted from Sergeant to Lieutenant!!!
TheBookVixen keeps enticing me into reading challenges. The latest is the Men in Uniform challenge.
The goal is to read as many novels that involve men in inform as you’d like. It can be a policeman, firefighter, paramedic, Army, Navy, Marine Corp., etc. – As long as the leading man wears some sort of uniform, it counts.
Current Level: Lieutenant(6-10 books)
9. Cowboy Deputy by Carla Cassidy 4/24
8. The Knitting Diaries: Return to Summer Island by Christina Skye 4/23
7. Breaking the Rules, Troubleshooters #16 by Suzanne Brockmann 3/23
6. Flash Point, Holding Out for a Hero, #3 by Shelli Stevens 3/18
5. Becoming Miss Becky by Shannon Stacey 2/13
4. Everyone Loves a Hero by Marie Force 2/13 (So do pilots!)
3. Icebreaker by Deidre Martin 2/6 (Hockey players wear uniforms!)

Since I’m reading anyway, I might as well play in another Challenge: GoodReads Reading Tournament – The Name Game Edition. Heck, they are getting me to branch out my reading some.
So this challenge runs from May 1 to October 30 (which will encompass the October 2011 24 Hour Readathon on October 22). The goal is to check off names on the list by reading books where these names are used for characters. You may check off a maximum of 4 names from one book.
Some of these names are pretty hard so if you have any suggestions for good books, PLEASE let me know.
