2009 Themed Reading Challenge

Posted by shelburns on November 16, 2008




A big thank you to Wendy of Caribousmom for starting this challenge and Becky of Becky’s Book Reviews for pointing it out to me!

I love challenges that let me have freedom to choose what I read.  This is one of them. 

The 2009 Themed Reading Challenge runs from Feb 1, 2009 – Jul 31, 2009.  You can read from 4-6 books w/3 levels of participation:

I have chosen the 3rd level of participation.  Here are my themes and books:

 

  1. Books with a female main character
  2. Books written by a female
  3. Books with a double letter word in the title
  •  
    • A Crooked Kind of Perfect
    • The Book of One Hundred Truths
    • The White Giraffe
    • May Bird Warrior Princess
    • The Space Between Before and After
    • Everything on a Waffle

Although I can change books at anytime, these books are in my TBR pile and I need to get them outta there to make room for others.  Won’t you join us in this challenge?
