2009 reading challenge updates and 2010 challenge post

Okay, so, last year around this time, I decided to participate in a number of book challenges. I also had Doritos. But that's beside that point, I'm just hungry 'cause I slept for a really long time.

Anyways, so, updates first. (And don't worry, Fun Friday will return as regularly scheduled next Friday.)

On the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge:

I flunked that. I didn't read one of the ones I wanted to read. I could claim a few of my tacky romances as historical fiction, but I'm not going to because I really wanted to read those books, so... eh, no biggie, hey?

On the Chick Lit Reading Challenge:

I read one. Yeah. Well. I did read some others that would qualify as chick lit, but not the ones I wanted to, so... we'll call that one a flop and move on.

On the Read Your Name Challenge:

I read all except for one. One? Okay, you know what? Ironside by Holly Black has been changed to Irreversible by Liz Maverick. Yay, I finished a challenge!!

On the Year of Reading Dangerously Challenge:

I read two out of twelve. Yeah. Moving on!

On the 100+ Reading Challenge:

I read 107 books!! You can go see them all at my original challenge post here. Two out of five isn't too terrible, right?

Alright, on to the 2010 reading challenges. Obviously, I don't do so well with challenges. Well, you live and learn and all that. But the one that I did do well with and that I want to do again is the 100+ Reading challenge and this year I'd like to try to get to 150. That's just be icing, though, my goal is just to complete the 100 books.

2010 100+ Reading Challenge List:

1. Seduced by a Stranger by Eve Silver (A) (Hush, it's what I'm reading. :P)
2. -
3. -
4. -
5. -
6. -
7. -
8. -
9. -
10. -

This list will be updated semi-regularly throughout the year. The gadget in my sidebar with my list will be updated more regularly.
For more information on the 100+ Reading Challenge, check out this blog.

Okay, so I think that's everything. Happy new year, guys! We made it to 2010 without getting struck by lightning! (I'm assuming, anyways.)

Peace and cookies,
Laina
