2009 Challenges and reading thoughts…

So 2009 is bringing lots of challenges at my book group!  Here’s to hoping that these challenges keep me out of the slumps.

I am participating in a year long TBR vs. New Book Challenge, where I only want to purchase 10 brand new books this year and to read mostly from my TBR.  I’ve made it 10 days and so far, I haven’t purchased 1 new book!  That is like a record for me.  I have however read through 2.5 books from Mt TBR.  So far so good on this challenge.

The Eye Spy Challenge is a fun twist on a game we play at my group.  This is a year long challenge.  Each month there is a challenge word and the goal is to read a book with that word in the title.   The 2009 words are:

January-Snow

February-Heart

March-Forever

April-Star

May-Rain

June-Magic

July-Murder

August-Dream

September-Harvest

October-Ghost

November-Type of Tree (so you can read books with Oak, Maple. Honeysuckle)

December-Christmas
I look forward to my reading this year, but I especially look forward to being able to share it!
