2010 Count Down Challenge



I have found another awesome challenge. The Count Down Challenge is going to be one of the ultimate reading pleasures for me. Click on the link above to register.

Here Are the Rules:

1. 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.
2. This challenge lasts from 9/9/09 through 10/10/10.
3. Crossovers with other challenges are allowed and your lists may change at any time.
