9.2009 READ & REVIEW CHALLENGE
I know, I know, I said that I was going to cut back! I have, last year I participated in a total of 15 challenges for the entire year. In 2009, I am only in 14. (So far) LOL!
Excellent job on cutting down your challenges! (LOL)
LOL!!! We may need to start a help group in the future, Book Challenges Anonymous. 🙂
Lezlie
OMG, Teddy! I’m tired just looking at that list!
I think I might join more challenges this year than I did last year… I am hoping to read more next year than I did last year, really…
Looks like you are doing well with keeping up with the challenges! I really enjoyed Empress of Asia, hope you like it too.
Beth, Lezlie, and Chris,
My name is Teddy and I’m a book challenge-aholic.
Kailana,
The more the merrier, I hope you join some of the challenges that I am in.
Nicola,
I have a copy of Empress of Asia from it first came out. LOL! I must read it in 3009.
Hi, Teddy!
That is the proper response in the group meetings, right? 🙂
Lezlie
I think it is Lezlie! At least I acknowledge that I have a problem. LOL!
I am really looking forward to this new year! You did great on your 2008 challenges. Way to go!
LOL! The challenges are so tempting aren’t they?! Good luck with all of those. 🙂
