52 Books in 52 Weeks

Welcome to the 2009 challenge, 52 Books in 52 Weeks.

Created by "Kay of Cal," the challenge of reading a book a week in 2009 is open to the members of Well Trained Mind message boards.

The rules are very simple:
Read an average of a book a week - 52 books in 52 weeks
Re-reading a book counts--as long as you first read it before 2009
School related books don't count (unless you want them to)
You can start reading on 1-1-09 at 00:00:01AM

Each week, there will be a thread on the WTM board for participants to list what book they will be reading for the week. http://read52booksin52weeks.blogspot.com/ is a group blog for participants to discuss the books they are reading, book lists for suggestions and more.

Happy reading!!

It's here: Banned Books Week 2008

September 27 to October 4, 2008
http://www.bannedbooksweek.org/

In honor of banned books week, I will place Dead Until Dark on hold and choose one (or more) of the challenged books to read. I think I will start with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou as I have it upstairs (Shame on me for not reading it before now!)

What are you reading?!
