2010 Master Challenge List
My plans for the new year are pretty simple: read arcs, work on series that I've started, do not start any new series unless they are graphic novels, do not start any new authors, and only join challenges that include books I will already be reading.
I'm currently involved in these perpetual challenges or projects:
Chronological Stephen King - This is my own personal project and I got stuck at The Stand. It's just such a huge book (I'm reading the revised 1500 pg edition) that every time I looked at it I just thought how many other books I could read in the same time. I vowed to read it in 2009 (didn't happen) so I'm trying again and will vow to read this book in 2010 and hopefully continue on with this project. I have read the first 5 books so far and will start again this year with The Stand.
1. Carrie
2. 'Salem's Lot
3. Rage
4. The Shining
5. Night Shift
Newbery Challenge (ongoing) - I intend on continuing this never-ending quest to read all the Newbery winners.
