Read Your Own Books Challenge 2010

Hosted by MizB's Reading Challenge

For 2010, I am planning to continue with the RYOB (Read Your Own Books) challenge! The rules are simple:

  • Pick a number of books you’d like to read in one year
  • Choose those books from your OWN collection
  • Read them between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010
And, that’s it!

Some other guidelines for this challenge:

  • Re-Reads are NOT allowed (the challenge is to get more of your own books read that have been sitting there waiting!)
  • Audiobooks & e-books ARE allowed
