Last year's list here

handy dandy calendar

Newbery Medal and Honor Books

I just scraped 50 in 2009, but I STILL did not complete my other challenges from 2008. Oh, well, keep tacking them on to this year.

I am just happy that I finished Ulysses.

Again I give myself the freedom to not finish books that I do not like and books that I cannot get into, and I urge myself to complete all these half-finished books that lie neglected around my house (you know, like I wanted to last year and the year before). I want to read diversely and well, and I want to come out in 2011 (HOMIGAWD!) with a sense of accomplishment. You know, before the world ends in 2012. Lawls.

Like always, I am going to post my book list here, keep it in Memories, and update as necessary.
"What's in a Name" Challenge 2008
"At least 5 more of these books" Challenge 2008
I will complete these two, I swurr!

and just for the craic, I will add on the following:
"What's in a Name 2" Challenge 2010

Without further ado, I give to you, my:
