Thanks to those 2009 Pub challenge participants who made it a great success! I hope you’ll consider joining the 2010 Pub as well. For those who didn’t participate last year but want to read more 2010 releases, join us. New members are always welcome! The challenge lasts for all of 2010.
Here are the 2010 rules:
- 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.
- No children’s/YA titles allowed, since we’re at the ‘pub.’
- At least 5 titles must be fiction.
- Crossovers with other challenges are allowed.
- You can add your titles as you go, and they may be changed at any time.
- Sign up at the Pub Challenge site using Mr. Linky.
- Have fun reading your 2010 books!

I lvoe new books and have already ordered 16 for 2010

What a coincidence. I made a resolution last night to read 10-15 books published in 2010 during 2010. How cool is that to find your reading challenge.

What’s the best place to read book reviews online of the latest books? I want to read 10 books from 2010, but I also want to read 10 of the best books from 2010. Is there some way we could coordinate efforts on discovering the best books of 2010?
