It's not even Christmas yet, and already I'm getting ready for my 2009 reading challenges. Yes! I found the 20 in 2009 Challenge (easy peasy), the 50 Books in 2009, the New Author Challenge, the Read Your Own Books Challenge (which is brilliant-because I never read anything I own because I have to read my library books first), The Ride the Reading Wave 2009 YA Book Challenge, and the Pub Challenge 2009. I like reading challenges because they give me an extra sense of satisfaction when I finish a book. I don't do it for a prize, or for the glory. Mostly I do it to see what other people in the challenge are reading.
I do hate when people cheat at challenges. For example, I did the Chunkster Challenge last year (4 books over 450 pages long) and I was unable to complete it. Someone read The Invention of Hugo Cabret which is a rather large childrens book that happens to be 75 percent illustrations. Whoo! That must have taken them a whole hour!
I do want to thank all of those kind souls out there who run the challenges. They do this out of the kindness of their own hearts. They rock!!
