[Sonja, (Da-Sonja)]

Sounds like fun. Do I have to decide in advance what I read? Or can I fill it in as I go?

[Jen, Super Spunky!]

Either works!! :) Thanks much to you, I have new stuff to add to mine!

[Jen, Super Spunky!]

Ohhh I updated my idea list again. When I start the challenge in January, I'll start a new thread and only add the books as I read them. Some letters, like H, Y, Z, and X have fewer books, so this list will serve as a reminder for ideas that I have. :)

[Sonja, (Da-Sonja)]

For W I want to read Wuthering Heights.

[Sonja, (Da-Sonja)]

Your D section is expanding exponentially!

[Jen, Super Spunky!]

Seriously! At this rate, I'd be spending a good two months on D alone!

Anyway, if you read Wuthering Heights, let me know when - I'd be interested in reading it too. :)

[Sonja, (Da-Sonja)]

I'll let you know when I start Wuthering Heights. It's one I've been wanting to read, but I'll save it for 2010 now... When you start your new thread, I'll join you and keep a list too!

[Sonja, (Da-Sonja)]

I think I'll try The Help

[Sonja, (Da-Sonja)]

Can we do an A-Z Author challange for 2010? Where either their first or last name has to start with each letter of the alphabet? What do you think?

[Jen, Super Spunky!]

Sure! I've only done it with last names, but I don't mind if it's first or last names. :)

[Sonja, (Da-Sonja)]

I thought with both it might be easier, but I'm ok with doing just last names. Sounds good to me!

[Jen, Super Spunky!]

Whew! I've got 45 books on that list... I can manage 50 in a year as long as I can keep to a one per week strategy... wow!

[Sonja, (Da-Sonja)]

Yeah, but you have multiple books for each letter and you tend to read more than one at a time. You'll be fine.

[Sonja, (Da-Sonja)]

You can do it!

[Jen, Super Spunky!]

True, but one book per week is about the max I can do - if it's a normal sized book. :) (By normal I mean 350ish pages...)
