Countdown 2010 Rules and Sign-up

I’m joining up again. Manged 15 books last year.

Well I don’t do many book challenges but am a constant reader - liked the idea of this one though
By Sherrie on Sep 10th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Hi!
Would love to join in on this challenge. I have posted and linked back to you. I have also listed my books. But that is subject to change. Have a great day!

I may live to regret this one. I know I will have fun making the list but I am not sure how well I will do in meeting the goal. So much of what I read is on the old side. I am going to check out my TBR pile and see what I have that would apply.

I wanted to do this one this past year but did not find out about it soon enough for my tastes, so I would like to try again this year. My only question- by “first published” you mean a book’s first publication was in that year and not the first 9 books published in a year, right?

OK - I’ve read my first book for the challenge, now where do I post the link to my review?
By 3m on Sep 15th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Hi, Susan, I’m going to go ahead and blend last year’s challenge with this one, so just go to the appropriate year — unless it’s 2010 already. I don’t have a post up for 2010 yet but I will soon.
By Lynn on Sep 16th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
I can’t remember the last time I read 55 books in a year (before I had children, I’m sure) but this challenge sounds like fun so I’m going to try!
By Amanda on Sep 17th, 2009 at 6:00 am
I’ve never done anything like this before but I love to read so I thought this challenge would be a good place to start. Great idea!
By Jessie on Sep 18th, 2009 at 5:26 am

I have signed up. I’m looking forward to tracking my reading through the challenge. 55 books might be tight but we’ll see.

This is my first time to do a challenge, also haven’t done any book review before because I suck at reviews. But I like this one, will do my best for this challenge!

This challenge sounds exciting. I’ll be joining.
By Mardel on Sep 27th, 2009 at 7:33 am
This sounds fun. I have a lot of books on my TBR shelf/pile that will satisfy at least two of the years on this challenge.
By kim in ohio on Oct 2nd, 2009 at 9:36 pm
I am so glad you are doing this one. I did the countdown 2009 once and am almost thru it a second time. It has been so much fun.

I’m signing up again, even though I didn’t finish the last one… I hope you don’t mind me bending the rules slightly - I really, really want to participate but can’t afford the latest books where I live…

I’ve linked up. I accidently linked up to the 2009 wrap-up too. Sorry - I got confused with all the McLinkys! I am excited to see if I can accomplish this challenge. 55 books in a year is a LOT!

I found this challenge via Lost in Books, and I think I can definitely do this, especially with my job as a YA librarian, and my hobby of mystery reading. Thanks!

By Tresa on Nov 27th, 2009 at 2:33 am
I have a question - I recently started a re-read on a series I really enjoyed and wonder if they would count for the challenge?
By Angee on Dec 15th, 2009 at 2:39 am
I saw this challenge one night and thought I’d give it a try. I have an 8-month-old daughter, little time to read and long list of books I want to read. Thanks for the challenge!
