Countdown 2010 Reading Challenge

by 3 Comments

countdown10I’ve been thinking about joining this challenge now that my 2009 challenges are winding down, and since two of my book club reading buddies are doing it, I figured why not?  The new books will be the hardest for me because they don’t show up at my used book stores very often, but now that I have a library card, I can find new books.

 

  • 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.
  • I’ll work on my list through the next few months, but I have some series to catch up on and this will be a great excuse because they are usually published one per year.  Voila!
