Newbery Medal and Honor Books

I made it to 57 in 2008, but I did not complete my other challenges. Oh, well, tack them on to this year.

There are SO many books that are awaiting being read, and I promise you, James Joyce, I WILL finish Ulysses before a year's time has passed from starting it. You have permission to flog me.

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 2010 (HOMIGAWD!) with a sense of accomplishment.

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!

Without further ado, I give to you, my:
