TBR Challenge

This is a useful challenge for knocking books off that list that you've always wanted to read but never quite got round to... and mines pretty extensive. The idea is to create a set list of 12 at the begining of the year and either read one a month, or whatever until they are gone. Last year i tried this and knocked 5 off my list, so i'm going to have another go :) (although i am a little late starting :/)

To Be Read:

1. I Hope - Raisa Gorbachev
2. The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
3. A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgees
4. Eucalyptus - Murray Bail
5. Dracula - Bram Stoker
6. Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell
7. Atonement - Ian McEwan

100+ Challenge 2010

Woop, another year and my first challenge of the year :) i really like this one as it allows me to indulge in my reading habbit :P
The Challenge is pretty simple, 1 year, 100 books :) i managed it in 2009 (by the skin of my teeth) and would like to do it again :) I'll probably list books on here as i finish them (i've got a few under my belt already) and stick them in the sidebar too. Hosted by J.Kaye, who i'm very gratefull to :)

(oh, and this year i'd like at least ten of them to be classics, either modern or traditional ones)
