this is my third post full of challenges that i'm attempting. it's like i find new challenges every month! i really dont know why i keep on getting suckered into all of these challenges. especially since this is my first year doing them! :P
The Countdown Challenge
- The goal of this challenge is to read the number of books first published in a given year that corresponds to the last digit of each year in the 2000s — 10 books from 2010, 9 books from 2009, 8 books from 2008, etc. The total number of books required, therefore, is 55.
- This challenge lasts from 9/9/09 through 10/10/10.
- Crossovers with other challenges are allowed and your lists may change at any time.
- Sign up using Mr. Linky.
- Have fun reading!

All you have to do is read a book that begins with a letter of each month or read a book that begins with the authors name (first or last name, doesn’t matter).
There are 74 letters so you will have to have 74 different books to complete the challenge. Books can however be used to complete other challenges.
You don’t have to do the months in any kind of order, just fill in books as you go along until you have each letter a book by it.
Challenge begins November 1, 2009 and ends November 2, 2010 so you have a whole year to complete! Lets break out them books and get busy!
this is gonna be a challenge :) especially since i started so late! i'm just gonna use the books that i read this year since it'll be easier to track.
