No matter if you haven't read a book by him before or whether you know them all, this challenge is for both newbies as well as fans. It doesn't matter whether it's his latest novel or a re-read, every book with Dean's name on it counts! I'm a huge fan of Dean Koontz, so in my case it will be mostly re-reading, preferably of older books. If you should need some recommendations, don't hesitate to ask. And here's a little helper: Dean Koontz Book List
3 Books - Odd Thomas' Mailman
6 Books - Odd Thomas' Neighbor (this will be the one I'm settling for)
9 Books - Odd Thomas' Best Friend
12 Books or more - Odd Thomas' Stalker
If all this talk about Odd Thomas confuses you, I suggest you start the challenge by reading the respective novel!
To sign up, please read the general rules below! Then post about the challenge on your blog, including the button above, and don't forget to link back to the Dean Koontz Reading Challenge page on my blog!

You have to pick a level, though you may "upgrade" to the next one at any time. In this case just drop me a line, so I can change your previous level.

Eeeeek! I'm a huge Koontz fan? Are audiobooks allowed?
ReplyDeleteI had no idea he had that many books, wow. I may join this one. Lightning is a favourite.
ReplyDelete@Darlene: Audiobooks don't count, but seeing how you're a big fan I'm sure you'll find a few books you want to read again, right?
ReplyDelete@Marce: I sure hope you will join us!
That's too bad, Birgit. Listening to audiobooks is my main method for reading, since I'm usually multi-tasking! I don't have the luxury of time to sit and read.
ReplyDeleteSuey here! I'm officially signing up to join this challenge with the hope to read 3 books. I want to finish the Odd Thomas series. Here's my link: http://sueysbooks.blogspot.com/2011/12/challenges-challenges.html
