I'm gonna pass on #7 since I doubt I'll even complete this challenge.

Starting in January 2010, I'm going to skip this particular challenge in order to focus on other challenges. I've had alot of fun doing it the last several months and will really miss it.

I may pick it back up again later on in the year.

Good luck to every one else....and happy reading in 2010.

Yz....um, I mean Whyz...I love your "new" name. That's cute!

No worries, southpaw. Pick and choose the challenge that works for you.

Yep, that's my BDB name with the other ladies in the BDB group.

I'm in. Will post as I go.

Yz, I think you meant to say no reading for this challenge until the first of "January.";-)

I'm in, putting my list together in the next couple of days. I assume by "January BDay celebrants" you are referring to group members with January BDays, and we are to select a book from their shelves? It's been forever since I've participated in the monthly challenge here, but I seem to remember it that way. So, who are our January BDay girls?
