January 1 - December 31, 2009J. Kaye from J. Kaye's Book Blog is hosting the 2009 Support Your Local Library Challenge where participants are encouraged to read from their libraries. There are three levels of participation you may choose from:
** The first is to read 12 books from your local library in 2009.
** The second is to read 25 books from your local library in 2009.
** The third is to read 50 books from your local library in 2009.
** The second is to read 25 books from your local library in 2009.
** The third is to read 50 books from your local library in 2009.
I am going for 50. This is a real stretch goal since I am just as addicted to used books as I am to my library, and only about 25 of my 2008 reads came from the library. But I just love my library. And what's the point of a challenge if the goal is achievable from the start?
I will list my library reads here, updating this list about once a month (links take you to reviews):
