+100 reading challenge

I did this, this year. I can easily read 100 books in a year. So, I am going to try to read 250 books. I think that it will be rather easy and I am excited for what books, I will pick.

2010 Debut Author Challenge

Next year, The Story Siren is hosting the 2010 Debut Author Challenge.
Here is a bit about the challenge: The objective is to read a set number of YA (Young Adult) or MG (Middle Grade) novels from debut authors published this year.* I'm going to challenge everyone to read at least 12 debut novels! I’m hoping to read at least 30! You don’t have to list your choices right away, but if you do feel free to change them throughout the year. I will also be focusing on mostly Young Adult novels.
Anyone can join, you don’t need a blog to participate. If you don’t have a blog you can always share your views by posting a review on Amazon.com/BarnesandNoble.com/GoodReads/Shelfari, or any other bookish site.
The challenge will run from January 1, 2010- December 31, 2010.
You can join at anytime!

The VC Andrews Movement...

I joined this yesterday and I am excited. I have only read the 1-3 of the Dollaganger Series. So, I am going to read that whole series. I also think I am going to read the Casteel Series and My Sweet Audrina.

So you should totally join this movement/ challenge and read some good trash. Yay, for books that my mom read when she was my age. Now I am going to half price books for the ones, I don't own. I hope to get a cut out cover. =D
