Resistance Is Futile (Or, Why I'm Joining Another Reading Challenge When I Already Have Enough Review Books to Outfit A Small Library)
Since last year saw me fail SPECTACULARLY at all the challenges for which I signed up, I have been trying to restrain myself from joining any in 2009. I've literally been sitting on my hands to stop myself from doing Carl's RIP Challenge. I've got waaaayyy too much to read and review right now. So, when I heard about Linda Ellen's Middle Grade Book Challenge, which doesn't end until next year at this time, I thought, "Now, that's one I can handle." Since I'm already reading so much MG literature, it should be "easy cheesy" as my kids say.If you're interested in joining me, you can find all the info here.
Even though a list is not required, I love lists, so I'm making one. Just try and stop me :) Here goes:
