choose a level of participation:
Minor: Read 6
Major: Read 12
Masters: Read 18
Doctorate: Read 24
Hmm let's see I have on hand
Louis Riel, 3 by Rick Geary, 2 Angel's that makes 6, I'd love to read Maus, Persopolis and the Sandman and the Fables series so I think I can safely say I'll join the Major Club and see if I can make it further.
The Pub Challenge '09 (Jan 1 - Dec. 31) read 9 books published in 2009
Reason I can join - I read arcs regularly and at time exclusively so this fits in with my regular reading. Only rule of note for me is that no children/YA books are allowed. I'll make a list as I go.

ReplyDeleteChallenges are so much fun. :-)
ReplyDeleteI nearly decided to join the Graphics Novel Challenge again this next year, but have decided against it. It was a hard decision to make though.
I am doing both the Pub and ARC Challenges, however.
Good luck with your challenges and have a Happy New Year!
Good luck with the challenges! I only join challenges that fit with my reading habits, too. It is too expensive to buy books exclusively for challenges!
ReplyDeleteI hope to read Maus and Fables this year, too. I am just waiting for them to arrive in the mail.
Thanks for joining the challenge Nicola! We have a few ARC's in common.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy Persepolis! I really loved it and hope to read Maus soon as well.
