January 1 – December 31, 2010

Here are the guideline for the challenge:

  1. Between now and December 31, 2009, make a list of between 10 and 20 Books to Read Before You Die. (depending on interest, this may be an annual event challenge).
  2. The books on your list can come from your stacks or the library, and be in print or audio format.
  3. Overlaps with other challenges is fine with me.
  4. Once you’ve created your post with tentative titles, THEN sign up using Mr. Linky, by pasting the link to your post, along with your name/blog name. This is how you will be registered. Finalize your list by 12/31/09 (no changes to the list after 12/31/09).
  5.  NOTE: If you don’t have a blog, you can still sign up and join in the fun.
  6. All bloggers who complete the challenge will be entered in giveaway to win an Amazon Gift Card.
  7.  Questions/comments, please feel free to comment or email me.

I have decided to go with 10 books this year:

1.The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood

2.Galore by Michael Crummey
3.Conceit by Mary Novik
4. The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran
5. Nefertiti by Michelle Moran
6. The Heretic’s Daughter by Kathleen Kent

7. The Book of Negros by Lawrence Hill
8.Hummingbird by James George
