Okay, here it goes! Still not done with 2009 and I'm now at 106. I should be done with 107 this week...maybe. IF NOT, I will not be putting it on my 2010 list since I didn't start it then. I will not cheat :).

I am doing a challenge w/in a challenge.I am challenging myself to read at least 25 books each from 4 different genres.
1. Urban Fantasy/Paranormal (that's a given for me lol)
2. Horror - haven't read this in awhile
3. Humor - I need more humor in my life
4. Classics - didn't read them in school so I figured I'd give it another try ;)

I need to read a little faster or get off the internet more often. I'm slackin'.
Maybe you could still meet your challenge within a challenge by reading books that include one or more from those genres. Maybe at least 2 per genre or something? Then you're not so limited. Mind you, you're probably there now, or almost?Did you enjoy A Wrinkle in Time? Been a while since I read that, but I know I liked it. It does have a few books after it, in a series.
Good Idea Stephanie. I'm trying to keep my horizons broadened! lolI noticed that it was part of a series so I am anxious to read the rest of them. I really enjoyed A Wrinkle in Time...even with God involved a little.
It's sad that having the internet at home is making it harder for me to read my books. lol I'm going to get back on track today though. Starting today:
17. Thorn Queen
I'm sad at myself. I bought a new netbook (first one ever) so I've been spending WAY less time reading. I'm averaging six books a month right now. WTF?! Time to put this netbook away and get to reading...
MARCH14. Hiding in the Shadows
15. Skinned
16. Kitty Raises Hell
17. Thorn Queen
18. Fade Out
19. Crashed
21. Bite Marks: A Vampire TestamentThis book is great if you like gross acts of violence, gore and profanity. I do. :)
25. Silver Borne (Mercedes Thompson, #5)Really enjoyed Mercy and Adam in this book...and felt for Samuel.
42.Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures, Volume 143. Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures, Volume 2
