This year you have options when reading your fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, etc. with the WWI as the primary or secondary theme.Books can take place before, during, or after the war, so long as the conflicts that led to the war or the war itself are important to the story. Books from other challenges count so long as they meet the above criteria.

Wade: Read 4-10 books in any genre with WWI as a primary or secondary theme.
Swim: Read 11 or more books in any genre with WWI as a primary or secondary theme.
Additionally, we’ve decided that since there are so many great movies out there about WWI, you can substitute or add a movie or two to your list this year and have it count toward your totals.
There are so many books in this series that I have decided to make this a Perpetual Reading Challenge, which means that there is no ending date! Take as much time as you need to finish the series. I have always wanted to read this series, especially now more than ever since the first novel is the basis for a major motion picture starring Katherine Heigl opening in theatres on January 27, 2012!
