I found a completely doable challenge. MyFriendAmy has one going here. The premise is pretty great.
There are two levels or choices for this challenge. Because a lot of people who read her blog are voracious readers, she added a new level this year.
1) The first option is to simply buy one book and read it. The book you buy and read should be a book you have chosen for yourself for pleasure. It should not be work related and books read to your children do not count.
2) The second option is to buy one book a month and read it. I am asking that those of you who will probably already have one book read by January 2 choose this option. Books can be on your other challenge lists, it is only necessary that you buy them and read them!
The challenge will end December 31, 2009.
I will be joining challenge #2...Dude! I know I will be buying books anyway, so might as well help out the authors and the book industry. My spin will be to try one new author a month.
