My booklist/reading challenge post for 2009.
Started over at
Library Thing, the idea is, as follows:
"This group is to help you track your progress on the 999 challenge - 9 books in 9 different categories, all read in 2009. For an added challenge, try completing your books by 9/9/09! You pick the categories yourself, just post here and let us know how you're doing."Here is my rough list of categories and books, to be completed over the next couple weeks before the new year!
