January 1 – December 31, 2010
Michelle of 1More Chapter is hosting the PUB Challenge again in 2010.
The objective is to read at least 10 books published in 2010.  While I am trying to cut down on the number of ARC’s I accept this year, I’m sure I’ll get at least 10.
These are the rules:
  1. Read a minimum of 10 books first published in 2010. You don’t have to buy these. Library books, unabridged audios, or ARCs are all acceptable. To qualify as being first published in 2010, it must be the first time that the book is published in your own country. For example, if a book was published in Australia, England, or Canada in 2009, and then published in the USA in 2010, it counts (if you live in the USA). Newly published trade paperbacks and mass market paperbacks do not count if there has been a hardcover/trade published before 2010.
  2. No children’s/YA titles allowed, since we’re at the ‘pub.’
  3. At least 5 titles must be fiction.
  4. Crossovers with other challenges are allowed.
  5. You can add your titles as you go, and they may be changed at any time.

Here’s what I read:

1. The Postmistress by Sarah Blake
2. O, Juliet by Robin Maxwell
3.Our Hart: Elegy for a Concubine by Lloyd Lofthouse
4.The Stolen Crown by Susan Higginbotham
5.The 3-Day Cleanse by Zoe Sakoutis and Erica Huss
6.101 Things I Learned in Culinary School by Louis Eguaras with Matthew Frederick
7. Captivity by Deborah Noyes 
8.The Confessions of Catherine de Medici by C.W. Gortner
9.Every Dog Has a Gift by Rachel McPherson
10.Restitution by Kathy Kacer
