When I am finished with the serial readers challenge, I will probably do it all over again too. It is my favorite challenge ever!
Cherra -- I love being able to read the series books back to back, yet still participate in a chellenge :)
*sigh* Too much reading recently and not enough "flibbity-time". Need to focus on myself for a while so I won't be reading as voraciously as I have been. I'll still be around, though... And I'll still be reading. :)Edited to add... I am using audiobooks to help me find more time and get in more exercise ;) YAY!
2010 - March Books Read (still loving the covers)...33 books read ;)

Yay! I actually have two personal challenges that I was going to attempt in 2010, so I will combine them into one for this challenge that Yz created...2010 Classics & Georgette Heyer Challenge
GOAL: To read 12 classics & 24 Georgette Heyer books
Challenge Duration: 1/1/2010 to 12/31/2010

Challenge Description:
I have been a bad girl and have watched movie versions of classics more than read them. ( I love a good period movie!) Anyway, I feel guilty in some cases that I haven't actually read the real thing. Goal is to read one a month, but I'm not going to punish myself if I read more than one in a month or don't get to one in a month. Also, I want to read 24 Georgette Heyer books. I have a gazillion of her books sitting in my house, and I want to get to reading them. Same with the classics, I am aiming to read 2 a month, but I won't punish myself for reading more/less in a given month.
