reading challenge

Okay, you've all figured out by now that I'm obsessed about getting the numbers flowing for the challenge. So, I thought that to get numbers flowing faster, I'd throw out my own version of the "Read from your older TBR" challenge. My version is this. During the months of July and August, I challenge you to choose the shortest full-length books from your TBR (older or new TBR).

I asked this a couple of days ago, and the conversation kind of veered off. One person did answer. But I'm still curious . . .

So, if you are not participating in the reading/book challenge, can you tell me why? My best guesses are:

Do you know about the book challenge? Our goal is to read 100,000 books this year as a community. However many we read, Harlequin Enterprises is going to donate the same number to The National Center For Family Literacy.

I tend to read many blogs and found this reading challenge on one of my blogs.

Since I'm reading and blogging about my books I decided I could kill two birds with one stone. :)

Books I'd like to read before the end of March:

My friend, Diana Holquist, posted a reading challenge on her blog (http://blog.myspace.com/dianaholquist). I decided to take her up on it. The idea is that you post 12 books you're planning to read in 2008. She posted all romance, I'm not doing that because my romance choices tend to be based on my mood--I can't plan ahead!

Here are the 12 books I've preselected.
