I am going to do this. I'll just post a review on each of them.

I'm in -- I just finished Inkspell yesterday and was going to post a review today. Can I count Inkspell toward this challenge? If not, I'll still join. Just let me know.

Thanks for hosting!!!

Sarah, thanks for joining!

Beth, yes you can count Inkspell, but I strongly encourage you to read three more of her books.\

J.Kaye, thanks for joining and blogging about it, I appreciate it a lot.

Thanks for letting me count Inkspell. I've got the review up now (here). I *love* the two Funke books I've read, so I bet read more than just two more!

Beth F said...

Got my "official" challenge post up: here.

I'm joining in on the fun. I've been meaning to read the Inkspell Trilogy - so why not. I also added The Thief Lord since it's been on my TBR pile. Here's my official post:

I'm joining, but this challenge came out about 2 months too late!:) I discovered her in October, and tore through a bunch of her books right away. All that I have left is her Ghosthunter series, and Inkdeath. But I still want to read them, so why not join the challenge?!? http://ilovemybooks.blogspot.com

I dont' even know who Funke is and I am joining. Don't have a blog will post here and at A Novel Challene. Do I have to do reviews. I hate either writing them or reading them. Lindy

Rebecca said...

Coincidentally I just started Inkheart and was planning on reading the whole trilogy. It seems meant to be!

OK so I am a bit late to the party....please sign me up. I have been wanting to read a Cornelia Funke book for a while now. Nothing like a little reading challenge to light a fire under us. You can find my post here:

OK I guess I better get to reading!

Is Cornelia Funke primarally fantasy? There is a very long hold list on her first book. When I know that there will be alot of holds on books, I would see if there is a large print edition, and I would put a hold on that copy as I know that there would be fewer holds. Judy

Intergalactic Bookworm said...

My laptop sent my message before I was done with it. Sign me up. I like to try new authors. Judy

Thanks

Mirawyn said...

I'll join up! As it happens, I just started Inkheart on the bus today. Like Rebecca, I fully intend to read all three. (So far, I'm about halfway through and adore it!)

I may even throw in Dragon Rider. :)

Here's my review for my second book, Inkdeath. Click here.

I have my last book review up. Thanks for hosting!! See the review here.

Kristi said...

Hi - thanks for hosting this challenge, but I sadly did not read any - waiting a month for the first book from the library and finally gave up and bought my own copy! So, while I now own the first two books - I will be buying the third and will read them soon!

Laza said...

I just made it in! Here's my wrap-up.

Jenny said...

I read the Inkheart series. Delightful! Here is my link to my challenge post and the reviews.

I finished with only 1 day to spare. I too had trouble getting them from the library.
Thanks for a great challenge.
