Challenge Update and Countdown 2010 Challenge
I was going through my reading challenge list, and realized I’ve actually mostly completed the Herding Cats challenge. I’ve read five books on the official master list, of which I have reviewed only one in any meaningful way. I plan to use the list for recs so that I can hopefully review more books and therefore count myself as a real participant. The sad thing about my lack of real reviews is that my favorite book so far this year, Tender Morsels was on the Herding Cats list. And… I haven’t reviewed it. Mostly because I don’t think I have the words to express how much I loved it other than simply squeeing like an imbicilic fangirl.
But, despite a lack of reviews, reading 5 out of a 163 book recs list is pretty cool, so yay for that!
Anyway, last night, while blogsurfing, I ran across yet another challenge I can’t resist joining. I present the countdown 2010 challenge.
Here are the requirements:
- The goal of this challenge is to read the number of books first published in a given year that corresponds to the last digit of each year in the 2000s — 10 books from 2010, 9 books from 2009, 8 books from 2008, etc. The total number of books required, therefore, is 55.
- This challenge lasts from 9/9/09 through 10/10/10.
- Crossovers with other challenges are allowed and your lists may change at any time.
- Sign up using Mr. Linky.
- Have fun reading!
I figure this won’t be all that stressful, and though I do like the idea of reading challenges broadening my horizons, I’m not so fond of ones that I’m going to look at as homework.
Anyway, at least for now, that’ll be it on the reading challenge front.
I have been looking at the Countdown challenge for ages! I keep on fluctuating between signing up for it and not signing up!
Yes, I am indecisive!
