2010 Reading Challenges

So I attempted two reading challenges last year, and am embarassed to say I didn't complete either one of them. It was my first year participating in challenges so let's just say that I took on more than I could handle? Yea, I think that works.

This Year, I will continue both challenges, trying to finish them up, cause I'm not one to give up... most of the time.

But I also signed up for a new challenge, cause it sounds like fun. The What's In A Name Challenge. Here's what I have to do/read.

  1. A book with a food in the title: Clockwork Orange, Grapes of Wrath, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
  2. A book with a body of water in the title: A River Runs through It, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, The Lake House
  3. A book with a title (queen, president) in the title: The Murder of King Tut, The Count of Monte Cristo, Lady Susan
  4. A book with a plant in the title: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Wind in the Willows, The Name of the Rose
  5. A book with a place name (city, country) in the title: Out of Africa; London; Between, Georgia
  6. A book with a music term in the title: Song of Solomon, Ragtime, The Piano Teacher
I'm pretty excited about this one, and finishing last year's remnants!

and Happy Martin Luther Day!

an ARC of The Season Giveaway



Author, Sarah MacLean is giving away a signed ARC of her debut novel, The Season. Although I haven't read this one yet, [it's next on my list Sarah] I've heard great things about it from My Favorite Author, and I'm very much looking forward to reading it. It'll be my first Regency historical novel so that makes it all the more exciting. I love movies set in the Regency England era. Vanity Fair is a favorite. But I'm getting off track. so YOU need to head on over to Sarah's spot for your chance at a signed ARC of The Season. LINK. This would be the perfect additon to your list, for those of you participating in the '09 Author Debut Challenge and the 2009 ARC Reading Challenge.

2009 Challenges

I have never participated in a challenge before so this is going to be a challenge all in itself. But here are the ones I'm going to attempt. Wish me luck.





The A to Z Title Challenge
Read 26 books whereas each title begins with a different letter of the alphabet. More info here. The challenge runs throughout the entire year so I should have plenty of time to do this. The books can overlap with other challenges. (Yes!)


The 50 Book Challenge
This one is really self explanatory. Read 50books before the end of 2009. More info here.

The RLA Monthly Challenge
Each month, at the YA Books Central Forum, we read a different book according to a theme. So I guess it's like a 12book challenge in a way. More info here.

Book Of The Month
This One is through the YA Books Central Forum also. More info here.

And I'm hoping all these challenges overlap!!

I'll keep track of the last three listed challenges on the YA Book Central Forum and the first one on my blog.
