2010 Challenges

Ok after much internal debate, this will be my page for all the 2010 challenges I sign up for.
The first one I want to sign up for is the Take Another Chance Challenge and the directions are WAY too long and complicated so go go to As Usual, I Need More Bookshelves for how to play. I'm going to try to do all 12 but I'm not going to hold my breath. It just sounds too fun to pass up though!

1. Blood Magic by Jennifer Lyon (my initials-J.L.)

The second challenge I'm signing up for is the What's in a Name? Challenge. The directions:
Between January 1 and December 31, 2010, read one book in each of the following categories:
  • A book with a food in the title: Clockwork Orange, Grapes of Wrath, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
  • A book with a body of water in the title: A River Runs through It, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, The Lake House
  • A book with a title (queen, president) in the title: The Murder of King Tut, The Count of Monte Cristo, Lady Susan
  • A book with a plant in the title: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Wind in the Willows, The Name of the Rose
  • A book with a place name (city, country) in the title: Out of Africa; London; Between, Georgia
  • A book with a music term in the title: Song of Solomon, Ragtime, The Piano Teacher

(The book titles are just suggestions, you can read whatever book you want to fit the category.)

The fourth is going to be the 2nd's challenge where it's "not just for your second in a series books, but the second time you've read an author as well." Again I'm going for the Addicted level with 12 novels:

The last (so far) challenge I'm signing up for is the Young Adult Reading Challenge. I played this year and was able to finish it but this year I'm going for the Just My Size level where I need to read 25 books.

1. Bloody Jack by L.A. Meyer

That's it! Well, I'm still working on my personal Books Made into Disney Movies challenge of reading all the books that were made into Disney films but I'm not getting too far in that one so hmmm, I should make it my goal to read at least 10 books on the list.
