2013 Heavenly Reading Challenge

January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2013


This is a crossover challenge. Books from other challenges count.

Challenge Goal:  Read books containing angelic/godly themes or characters. Books about Angels, Gods, or Goddesses, with references to battles between heaven and hell, or centered around mythology-twists all count. The books can be fiction or non-fiction, Middle grade, YA, or Adult.

There are 5 levels to this challenge. You are more than welcome to move up if you finish one level and wish to continue. Once a level is chosen, however, you will not have the option to move down.
