1 – 200 of 202 Newer› Newest»Although I won't finish mine but close to it, I'll do it next year. I'll be do a few reading challenges next year. Wow. Different levels.
I've signed up for this challenge and will be ready for it next year. Sounds like fun.
I really should do this... I am not good at supporting my library. I attend their sales... but I am not much of a borrower.... this would be a good challenge for me to really get to know my library.
I successfully completed this challenge this year - so am up for it in 2010 as well :)
Can I check out kid's books to read with my children or is this just for adults?
I'll be back to sign up. I love this challenge!
i love libraries...i just can't get there currently....no way to transport wheels in wheels.
I totally signed up...Now that I'm in good standing again with my local library this should be tons of fun for me!
I really need to use my library more. Even the mini challenge is more books than I've checked out of the library in the past 10 years! Yikes...
One of my favorite challenges to particpate in (also one of the easiest for me to complete).
Kristen howe - Look forward to you joining.
Sheila (Bookjourney) - I felt that way last year. This one will be different!
sallyfromoz - Me too! I really depend on the library as a major source for books.
Brimful Curiosities - ***All*** checked out books count.
Debbie's World of Books - Can't wait!
HODGEPODGESPV - Now that's a real shame there is no library on wheels.
Jamie - LOL! Nona had to pick up the slack for me this year. ;)
Pam - There ya go!
Nise' - I flip back and forth on my favorite. YA, 100+, and this one rotate...lol.
this is a good challenge for me. it'll take me back to my "book roots" that is borrowing books (before i started buying every book that interests me). i can't wait :)
sorry, I made a mistake on mister linky. i didn't link my exact post about the challenge on there but here is my challenge post: http://booksandmakeup.blogspot.com/2009/11/2010-support-your-local-library-reading.html
i'm really sorry for the trouble j. kaye, but is there a way you can unlink me? i'm number 13.
I plan to be more active in this 2010 challenge as most of my books will be from the ole librarie...
I'm so in I'll post my list tonight!!! :)
Most of my reading comes from the library so looking forward to this challenge.
I work at the local public library and get to select most of the fiction purchased for the library, so 99% of my reading material comes from there. For that reason, I'm not joining the challenge but wanted to say THANKS to all of you who are participating and supporting your public libraries.
Michelle - I have your link updated. No biggie!
Book Bird Dog - This year I plan to limit the amount I join...lol!
Our Cozy Little Book Corner - awesome!
Cat - Although I did check out a lot of books from the library this year, it's not as many as I intended. I plan to really get serious next year!
Dave and Tami - Yes, if we don't use them, we lose them.
Great challenge! I'm joining again this year.
This is another challenge I'd like to participate in - whenever I get around to making the post for it. And whenever I decide what level to join. I have no problem borrowing library books - just getting around to actually reading them. =) This should help.
Andrea - Love having you!
Jo - Take your time. :) I'm trying to get things lined up to give me more time to close up the 2009 challenges in December.
I've just got back into borrowing from the library this year after a 2 year break so I think this will be a wonderful new challenge to participate in. I really want to stick with the library borrowing and a few less purchases :-)
Teddyree - I am looking forward to getting back to being a regular at the library. :)
Little bit embarrassed, but I can't sign up for this challenge until I pay the libray the $11.25 I owe them! I have every intention of paying it! I just haven't yet!
Jenn M. - I think we've all be there...lol. Some of us, like me, more than once. ;)
Good to know I'm not alone! It happened when I moved. Library books got packed in with my books and forgotten about. Whoops!
I'm in... just need to write my post.
signed up.
I love this challenge! Just last week I made a vow to get more books from the library instead of purchasing them from a bookstore. Using the library saves me money and space (I'm running out of room for my many, many books) and it helps support my local library. Great idea for a challenge!!
Hooray for this challenge! I'm so excited to start reading in 2010. It'll be fun :D
pussreboots - So glad you're in!
Melissa - welcome!
Marquetta - I can't guarantee how much I will cut back on purchases, but I will support the library as much as humanly possible. ;)
Justine - you and me both!
I go to the library every week. I actually find myself reading library books above books I buy because they have due dates. This week I am skipping the library so I can focus on reading books I spent money on instead. I feel guilty that I spent money and then just let them sit there ignored!
I haven't done anything like this since I was in grade school. Since most of my reading material already comes from the library, this will be a good challenge for me.
I'm in!!! Love, love, love, to go to the library. The kids and I have a blast there.
Thanks for hosting this challenge again.
I am so in! I'm going to sign up for 75 for next year, I think... This year's 25 came and went so fast, it was like a windstorm. =)
Jill & Kara - Thanks to review books, I've been away from the library more than I normally have. In 2010, things will change.
jacobsbeloved - Awesome! So glad you are joining.
I'm going to try the Mini - 25 books. I usually swap my books, but our local library could use the support - so I'm in.
Thanks for hosting!
drey - Didn't it though? And I wasn't even trying hard. Like you, I am going for the gold!
AlleluiaLu - Our library has gotten a lot of hurricane money which was invested in the libraries. This is going to save me lots of $$.
I've never been good with challenges so I'm going to go with one of the smaller ones. But this is a good idea.
Can't wait to try this challenge!
Just signed up-pretty sure most of these books will probably crossover from the 100 in 2010 challenge. Can't wait to get started!
Well, I signed up! I was only going to do one reading challenge next year but I couldn't help myself. My library knows me by name so I figured, why not?
Looking forward to this!
I'm in again this year, but only for the mini (25 book)commitment as I hope to read more of my own books in 2010. Thanks so much
aprilnichole - That's what I did last year....only I didn't know when to stop signing up for reading challenges...lol. Hope you do better than I did. ;)
Jaime @ Just Add Laughter & Stephanie - Me too!
Nikki @ Bookizzle - What was your other reading challenge you signed up for?
Diane - I can't say that I blame you there. I've gotten rid of most of the books I am no longer interested in. What's left isn't much.
Thank goodness picture books count! We'll have no trouble with this challenge at my house!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I love our local library. It's right across from the farmer's market! :)
This sounds fun! And I really should start to use the library more. :)
Gwendolyn B. - I remember those days!
LadyD - wow, that is close!
Brianne - I've made a promise to do more in 2010.
Love it and have already posted about it. Thanks for hosting.
*smiles*
Kim - you are very welcome.
This was one of my favorite challenges in 2009.
Since I work in a library, this will be a fun and easy challenge. I take books home from the library almost every day. Libraries are awesome!
This is going to be my first reading challenge. Can you give me guidelines or suggestions of what I should do once I read the books?
So, I'm a bonehead and signed up the first time with my test blog.... Sorry about that.
I'm going for the Stepping It Up level. My 3yo and I read a lot of library books this year.
Count me in. I won't be posting about any of the 2010 Challenges I am joining until I post my New Years Day post, but I've already got a draft of that going and have this challenge linked there. Sounds really fun!
Nan - I think it's hard for be to decide which, the 100+, this one or the YA. They all three overlap each other and fit together so well.
4IQREAD - A dream job!
YSPrincess - If you want to write a review of the books you read, I'll be providing a link up post, but that isn't required. All you need to do is keep a list. When you are done, do a wrap up post listing your books and link that post with Mr linky. There will be a post proved for that as well. If you don't have a blog, just list the books you read in the comment section of the Wrap up post.
KyleeJ - LOL! I've had too many of those moments. ;)
Carl V. - Welcome to the challenge!
I'm wavering now on signing up for this one. I'm going to make it my goal to read more of the books I already own which is well over 200. Decisions, decisions :) Thank goodness for your readalongs to give me motivation.
Almost everything I read comes from the library so I'm going to go for Stepping It Up - 75 books.
I LOVE my library!! I will sign up for this one and it will save me money while supporting my library!
I'm actually going to start my Januray books in Dec. as I have a baby due in Jan and probably won't be reading much that month.
I'm going to go for Just My Size, and if I read more...YAY! :)
Lizzie Ann, make sure you read to the baby! ;)
What a great challenge! I just joined my local library and have been having a great time checking out books. I am looking forward to participating in this challenge next year!
Debbie's World of Books - I really don't have many of my own books, not if you consider how many I read a month and what's on my shelf now. I counted 2009's books and I think I can make it.
Anonymous - I purchase too many, but I bet that the majority will.
Lizzie Ann - Yes! I am hoping that by signing up for the big one, it will get me out of purchasing so many.
YSPrincess - Good point! And those count.
Catherine @ The Blonde Diaries - Awesome! Love hearing that!
Who doesn't love the library! I'm in for The Mini but I do hope to read more than 25. :-)
Sounds great! I LOVE the library! I am definitely joining!
This is a no-brainer for me. Last year 49% of my books came from the public library. I'm going for at least the same in 2010. Thanks for hosting. Now, if I can just figure out how Mr. Linky works....
I am getting carried away now with reading challenges but how could I resist this one? Libraries are so important and this challenge will allow me a reason to get out of the house.
I'm doing this through my homeschooling and private tutoring blog, Homework4Today, where I'll get my students to follow along with me (if they join in I'll try and get them to link to you as well). Thank you for providing a brilliant idea for a fabulous homework resource it's just what I needed to inspire me to get the children reading. I shall have to try and make a reading record for them to use so that I can keep track of them. I like the idea that I will be asking them to use the library as I used to do that all the time when I was teaching.
Not sure which level to aim for yet with the students but I reckon I'll be heading for somewhere near the top.
Blessings,
Amanda x
Great challenge ~ I love the library!
Amy @ Just Book Reading - You'd be surprised! There are lots of readers who do not.
Angel Borland & nancysblogtwo - Me too!
Tina - I'd say that is close to my average. The kids really help.
Tigermadstanley - I am a home school mom. When I saw it on your blog, I thought that was way cool!
I love my library and am there at least once a week. I will easily read 100 books or more next year between my own books and reading to my daughter. This is a great reminder to all of us to utilize our wonderful libraries and librarians. Plus it's less stuff in our house when we borrow the books! It's a great way to go!
I'm a challenge newbie, but LOVE this! I'm a big library supporter and we have just built a new one in our town - opening in January. I'm excited to post about it on my blog. -beth ;)
I'm don't have a blog and I've never done a challenge but I'm jumping in on this one.
I'm pretty sure I already do this at the Super Size Me level every year, so I might as well sign up for the challenge!
I found it! Can't believe I didn't see it before.
J.Kaye....great challenge and I'm really looking forward to it. I think I did not sign up correctly at Mr. Linky (I've never done this before) at #114--did not do the link to my challenge post. So I resigned up. can you delete the linky #114 link? Let me know if there's anything else I'm supposed to do besides just post books I've read there on my post right?
I'll be "stepping it up". Very excited about this challenge.
Great Challenge! I picked "Just My Size" but since I'm also hoping to do the 100+ in 2010 maybe I can get up to the "Stepping it Up" Level! :-)
Can't wait to check out the rest of your blog! :-)
Supersize me, did over 450 this year, but hope to cut back by 100
This should be easy for me, but I will still aim for the 50 books level, since I want to clear off my shelves as well, in 2010.
I mostly need to read my owned/unread books, but I'll still be hitting the library. I'm going for The Mini Challenge. Thanks for hosting!
OHH this is awesome, I never head to the library, and need to start - thanks sooo much I cant wait!
Karen & drbethnolan - I feel the same....love the library!
Sandy Jay - Awesome! You don't need one either. :)
bloggeralice - I do too, but it's a great way to help promote our love for the library.
Elizabeth - This blog is a bit crowded...lol. Easy to miss.
Tina - I can! No biggie.
Suzanne - I agree. Can't wait for 2010.
Melissa - Both of those work really well together. :)
Grilsgood - Way to go!
Aths - I hear ya. I did that in 2009, but the stacks are slowly coming back.
JG - Understand! And you can always increase later.
Book Crazy Jenn - Great! I love our library. :)
As a Librarian Tech, this is a favourite challenge of mine. Love the library!
I'm going to sign up for this challenge. Just trying to figure out how to organize it all on my blog :)
This is my first challenge I've ever signed up for. I've just discovered these challenges. Reading is my passion and I got my library card this year to save money. I want to sign up for the 100 books to read, but I don't know how. I don't have a blog, but I would love to learn about how to create one.
this is the challenge for me! I love my library and I have not worries about making at least the mini-challenge mark - thanks
The library is where I get my books. This will be fun. I've never kept track of what I've read before. This will be one my resolutions- to start keeping track of what I've read!
All signed up! I've stuck with 50 books again this year as I only just (51) made it last year so I wanted to keep it reasonable :) Hopefully, I can surpass myself in 2010. Thank you so much for hosting J. Kaye :)
Count me in :) most of my Japanese literature come from library...so there will be a lot of Japanese literature in my review :)
I am a pretty lousy borrower, but hopefully the combination of this challenge with the others I am signing on for ("Woolf in Winter", great idea!) will make me a more diligent and timely library user!
Thanks J. Kaye for hosting such a great Challenge - something I know I should be doing more of - and this challenge is just the thing I need to push me on.
Thanks and looking forward to a great reading year!
Hoping to read more library books in 2010 and buy fewer! This is the perfect challenge for me - I'm signing up for the "Mini" level. Thanks so much for hosting this!
Thanks for hosting this challenge: I borrowed about 50 last year, many of them audio books because I listen to them nearly every day while driving to work - and they're expensive to buy. However I'm making a bit of an assult on the TBR in 2010, so I'd better not be too ambitious.
Lisa Hill, ANZ LitLovers
Awesome challenge. I love visting the library so I decided to join the challenge. :)
Yay.. this challenge is right up my alley=) I always support my local library!! and they support my reading addiction. =) Thank you for hosting!!!
J. Kaye -- Sign me up for the Just My Size (50). I think last yeaer I signed up for 25 and did 57 so I ought to be able to swallow 50 this year. Thanks once again for hosting such fun challenges. You rock!
Great challenge as I love library books and this way I'll actually keep track of how many I read this year. Aiming for 100 +++,
thanks for this,
Suzi Love
Just joined & looking forward to it. I am new to the world of reading challenges -- learning as I go. I plan to go "Super-Size Me" with this one. I read 122 in 2009 and almost all were library books.
I have signed on and linked to my blog (it isn't a book blog, but I write about books and libraries and reading sometimes). I know I can read 25 library books, probably 50. I've always wanted to try to keep better track of what I'm reading, so listing the books is my personal challenge for the year as well.
Jules - Mine too!
Page (One Book At A Time) - Ugh! My heart goes out to you. This year I am putting mine all on one page.
Sallie (FullTime-Life), SarahT, ck.twilighter, mlisame, Chloe, bokunosekai, Orchid, orannia, Maxine, Candice, & Juliann - Fantastic! I am so glad to have you join!!
jlshall - I will read more from the library this year, but I still have to purchase...lol. It's a disease!
anzlitlovers - Love the audios from the library! Does your library have OverDrive?
Jan in Edmonds - Yes! I am so glad you are joining again this year!
suzilove - I have no idea how many I will read. Like you, I'll be keeping a track even if I pass a 100. Wouldn't that be cool?
I just signed up and I'm gonna go for Super-size Me. I work in a library and read about 80% of my annual book quotiant by checking them out at work.
I'll post the list at the end of the year at http://ireadtorelax.blogspot.com.
Wow...this is great! I've been trying to use the library (instead of the bookstore!) more anyway!
I'm in, thanks for hosting J. Kaye! Both me and my wallet thank you :)
Mel
Count me back in. I don't know what level this time.
I'm all over this. :D Super Size me!
I figure Young Reader means children's books so this challenge should mean good things for my nephew and nice. =) And maybe it'll push me to actually read more of those "possible library reads" I seem to have so many of.
So sorry J.Kaye, I accidentally posted my blog twice (MyBookBuds). SORRY!
But I can't wait to participate in this challenge.
This challenge is going to be fun. I swear the bookmobile staff has my phone number on speed dial. Love, love, love my library :)
I do not have a blog but signed up for this challenge. I'm a regular at our local library and look forward to continuing my usage or stepping it up!
Why not? I'm signing up!
I am signing up.
I am going for the 25 books challenge.
I've changed blogs so I added my new site address
I signed up again and used a different link (decided to do a post for each challenge). You can delete my first one if you want :)
I am aiming for 75. This is a great way to support our local libraries!
Got my third book today. I hope to read at least five each month.
Good luck to us all!
Britt & Jessica - Me too! :) That's a pretty big amount for me, but I really love our library!
Mel (He Followed Me Home) & Melinda - I understand. They have saved me sooooo much $$.
Kristen howe - You can adjust the amount if needed.
Jo - Yes, the ones you read to the young ones. ;)
melissa @ 1lbr & Mary S - No problem. Just let me know which # & Name to delete.
Debra - Understand. We go to the library one and two times a week.
semcg - You don't need one at all. If you'd like to join us on Monday when we post our weekly updates or the first Tuesday of every month.
T - Fantastic!
Melissa - And if you want to increase the number, feel free.
Lydia - If I need to delete an entry, just tell me the # & Name.
SariJ - Wow! You are rocking!
The "mini" challenge for me.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Our library is right by the Farmer's Market so Friday is "gathering day"!
Mini challenge for me!
Ok. I've done it. Signed up for the book challenge. I'll try the 'Mini Challenge' and see how I go.
Woo hoo!!
This is my first challenge and I'm excited about it! The majority of what I read comes from my local library. Thanks!
I enjoyed this challenge last year and will aim higher this time! I've signed up for 50 books.
Thanks, J.Kaye!
Gaby
I will be doing this. I get all my books from my libraries so this should be pretty easy for me!:)...Sounds fun too!!...
Our library rocks and we are loyal supporters of it. I can't wait to participate in this challenge. I'll be keep a list on Moonbeam A Musings. Come watch it grow!
Second year in a row...
Thank you for raising awareness for our love of libraries!
By the way, there's a great site that raises awareness about public libraries called Geek the Library. I'm getting the word out and tracking my reading challenge at One Inch Tall.
Thanks again, J. Kaye for hosting this challenge!
Thanks for hosting this challenge! I'm aiming to read at least 75 books from my local libraries.
Great challenge--local libraries can always use more support!
I've seen many many challenges for 2010, but this is by far my favourite! Our local library is *wonderful*, and the kids' librarians are particularly wonderful so I'm very happy to support them.
Another challenge. Wow. I'm going to busy reading to meet this one. But as of tomorrow, I go pick up my second library checkout of the year so I should meet at least the 25 level this year. I don't have a blog so I'll have to post my list on this site.
I did ok wit this challenge last year...30 of 50. This year I will aim for 25 so that I can also concentrate on reading 25 books that are on my own book shelves waiting to be read.
Where can I put the link to my book review?
YAY! A challenge I know i can meet :) We go to the library every week and I love libraries in general! This year I have already read "Twilight" and "The Year of the Flood" via my library and I am now reading "The Children's Room" by AS Byatt.
And just to add on :) I hope all participants consider donating to their libraries and/or supporting teh Friends of teh Library groups nationwide. Thanks for this great challenge!
I am a life long library lover. I decided to join this challenge because my hometown library in Columbus, Ohio is all one of the best systems in the nation.
I definitely beieve that I can do 100 books easily.
Hi, I just signed up. I'm hoping this challenge keeps me at the library and out of the bookstores. I've started reading my first book of the challenge and can't wait to keep going.
There is nothing that I love more than my local library. (Well, maybe my husband. And cake. But the local library is right up there.) Super Size Me, please! (In fact, I"m gonna try to double that.)
Posting updates on my blog as I remember them. Right now, about two books a week but things are about to get crazy for me as I have three stories to write within a short period of time. Plus work a full time job, deal with teenagers, and do all my book related promoational stuff. I'll make it I hope. Don't remember what I said I'd shoot for - I think 50 (will have to double check that), which is very doable for me since that is only about a book a week average.
I also issued this challenge to the 6th grade class I work with online. They all got library cards back in September during library card month. So I'm offering them prizes at levels of 10, 25, 35 and 50 books being read (checked out from their local library and the teacher's library since he just set up a system in his class with almost half his collection that they have library cards and all to check the books out - he's even got the books barcoded for checking out purposes) by the end of the school year which for them is like May 25, I think. So hopefully some of them will meet the goals and shoot for some of the bigger goals.
See you all in the postings - E :)
I've always been a supporter of using libraries and would love to see how many I do indeed read over the course of a year.
First challenge ever linked to my blog. There's a commitment I thought I'd never be making *lol*.
Looking forward to it!
Due to a glitch with Blogger I need you to delete #318 from the Linky. That's Terri@TheLatestThing. Thanks.
I really need to this one being that I work at a library!
My goal is 50 books.
Happy Reading everyone!
I'm in...Stepping It Up!
Another great challenge...I'm in for Just My Size...hopefully I can do it!
I love to support my local library (and it's a cheap way to get great reads, too)! Count me in. :)
I am choosing the Super Size Me option since I work at a local library and so far every book I've read this year has come from the library!
Great idea ! At the end of last year I did a quick count and I read 65 books from my local library. I hope to do the same this year !
Ok, I'm going to try for 50...my problem is I forget to turn the books back in, get frustrated after those fines and then stop going after I pay off my astronomical fines. BUT, with this Challenge, I will be a good girl this year...
I initially considered going for 75, but I allowed myself to be swayed and elected to try 100 instead.
I am a really really late comer to book blogging world and I wanna take this challenge to see how much I can read from my company's library where I have quite limited options. I'll go for 25.
I am also a late comer to this challenge. I have only been blogging and reading blogs for just over a month. I think I can get the hang of challenges now and this one is great. Thank you
Didn't state how many library books I would read in 2010 - but I'm sure it will be more than 100.
http://hopeseguin2010.wordpress.com/
However - shame on me - I STILL purchase and read a lot of books!
Hope
The library is my second home so this challenge will be extra fun for me.
I'm in! Hopefully this will get me to borrow instead of buy, but I do have to walk right by a lovely bookstore to get to my library.
I'm stepping up from 25 to 50! I can't believe I've already hit the 25 mark, and it's only the end of March - SO unlike me! Looking forward to catching up on everyone else's threads in the near future!
Bit of a latecomer, but I just found out about this challenge last night!
I'm in for 50 books, though I may end up stepping up to 75 (or even 100!) at some point. ^_^

Thanks for the challenge! I just found out about it today.
I have read 13 library books so far this year, so my goal is probably 50 for 2010.

#51 on my Library Reading List is a Good Read -
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.
http://hopeseguin2010.wordpress.com/2010/04/08/immortality/
Can't wait to get started on this one. I check out books all the time for both my daughter (who is three) and myself. So this should be a breeze!
Here is my updated list:
http://jaynesbooks.blogspot.com/2010/01/2010-support-your-local-library-reading.html
If you wish to read the reviews, comments are appreciated.
#56 on my library list is proving to be a delightful book. Just a snippet from Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'Easter:
Memphis is my home. It always will be no matter where I live. In the South we have a tendency to be possessive of our hometowns. A Memphis girl can marry a Birmingham boy, raise her family there, and live out the rest of her days in Alabama. But when her obituary runs in the Birmingham Post-Herald, it will still claim Memphis as her home.
Just My Size! I'm excited, my first challenge!
I'm entering the Super Size Me! So excited!
I've been participating in spirit since January, but I finally remembered to sign up!
I've already read about four books, and I'm about to finish my second audiobook.
Fittingly, it's about literature: A Way with Words II: Approaches to Literature. I highly recommend it! I intend to find out if the rest of the Modern Scholars series is just as good. :)

No. 74 on my Library List . . . a poignant Childhood Memoir
Whoo boy, I'm going for Super Size Me. Egad!
This couldn't have been better designed for me if it had been designed by me. Love my library.
LOVE my library!! What a great challenge! Super Size me :-)
I love my library. I check out tons of books both from my local library and the library I work at.
Look at all these comments! I'm going for the Supersize now -- seriously underestimated the number of library books I'd read. Finished my 25 already. Yay! Thanks for doing this.
looking forward to this challenge
I just found this challenge and since most of my reads are library books I figured why not.
just started with a blog and finding all these good challenges, decided to do it because i go to the library once a week to get books anyway.
Hi!
I've just started a blog and I've just got to start visiting the library more to afford the habit so this seems like the perfect challenge!
I always think local libraries need more support so this is a FAB idea!
Thanks :) x

Signing up for book challenges right & left...at twenty library books so far & aiming for 75 (may even make 100...we'll see).
Hope i'm not too late! lol
I'm in at Mini 25 books .
I thought I signed up for this early this year, probably meant to. But here I am. I'm going for 50 this year, last year I went for 25 and surpassed that!
Sorry I put up my link again because I just finished and wanted it to go to the list of books I read. I should have gone for 50!
THe Libraries need all the support they can get, there was an article in I think it was the guardian, stating some of the gov't ideas for saving money, I have it linked on my blog.
The link concerning the libraries mentioned in my last comment is via here http://parrishlantern.blogspot.com/2010/06/andrew-motion-attacks-catastrophic-plan.html
Do you have a link button I can place on my blog?, if not I'll use the picture with my book list
Thanks
You're gonna hate me, by the time I've finished, but this is such a great idea & I'm limited to the time I have (work etc), so Sorry for the excess of posts & comments, after this initial rush it will slow down.
Thanks again
Parrish
This is the 2nd challenge I've entered, the 1st being the Japanese lit at Bellezza blog, if you've not been there try it out.
Another review post by The Parrish Lantern, this is one of three books by Taichi Yamada(only reviewed 2 tho)that I've read, a writer worth finding if you've not done so already
Eek -- I didn't post the direct link my challenge post. Could you change my link to: http://unabridged-expression.blogspot.com/2010/08/reading-challenge-support-your-local.html? Thank you so much!
My challenge is finished - 25 library books completed.
My list is here:

I just signed up! I LOVE getting books from the library!
Went to the library today, got a pile of books & I have a weeks holiday + a bankholiday. So hopefully me challenge can progress.
My aim is to read a 100 & have just passed the halfway mark.Hope I can complete it by dec.
I know that I'm signing up really late, but I do read a lot and I use the library tons so I'm sure I'll get pretty close to the 100 mark if I don't make it. That being said, I'm signing up for the "Super Size Me" level and my lists will be linked from my main reading challenges page as well as on your reviews page. :-)
I heartily recommend #125 on my Support Your Local Library Reading Challenge.

I'd just sign up for the contest. Hope that I can get 25 books ( though I really doubt it).
I've sign up for this challenge. I hope I can finish the challenge (though I really doubt it).
I thought that I had posted the first part of the year but I guess I missed it.
Better late than never, right?
If you like a good mystery: #156 on my Support Your Local Library Challenge!
