TBR Challenge

I hadn’t really planned on participating in this one in ‘09 (don’t I always say that?), but then I said to myself that I could always just participate in the new TBR Lite Challenge. Then I had another talk with myself that said, ‘You didn’t finish the tbr challenge in ‘08, so do you really want to go out on a bad note?’.

No, I didn’t, so here I am signing up for this one again.  With, hopefully, some easy books that will be a cinch to complete.  The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective series and the Eyre Affair series are books that I thought I could get to in ‘08 but didn’t.  They’re easy and fun to read, and I want to read them!  So read them I will for this challenge.  Most of the other books listed qualify for the 1% Well Read Challenge, so there is additional motivation for those titles as well.  Thanks, Jenn for hosting again! (I also love the Scrabble button — I’m a Scrabble freak!)
