I've already picked out some of the books I plan to read and I'm still pondering the choices for others. But now I have my first challenge and a firm set of goals for 2011!
So happy to have you in the Challenge!! Thank you for joining! I'm still working out my books to read too... I'm notorious for choosing them at the last minute!

This is probably just me, but the challenge is sounds a little complicated - do you have a list of suggestions?
ReplyDeleteI'd have to work out my books fairly carefully!! I usually read what I like, and then figure out which challenge it falls into :D
