The 2010 Young Adult Reading Challenge

This challenge is hosted by J. Kaye's Book Blog. It is a challenge that a large number of people participate in. I was #219 when I signed up on Dec. 28.

Here are the rules:

New Reading Challenge: The 2010 Young Adult Reading Challenge


1. Anyone can join. You don't need a blog to participate.
2. There are four levels:

• The Mini YA Reading Challenge – Read 12 Young Adult novels.
• Just My Size YA Reading Challenge – Read 25 Young Adult novels.
• Stepping It Up YA Reading Challenge – Read 50 Young Adult novels.
• Super Size Me YA Reading Challenge – Read 75 Young Adult novels.

3. Audio, eBooks, re-reads all count.
4. No need to list your books in advance. You may select books as you go. Even if you list them now, you can change the list if needed.
5. Challenge begins January 1st thru December, 2010.
6. When you sign up under Mr. Linky, put the direct link to your post where your Young Adult novels will be listed. Include the URL so that other viewers can find this fun challenge. If you’d prefer to put your list in the sidebar of your blog, please leave your viewers the link to the sign up page. Again, so viewers can join the challenge too.

I haven't decided what level I will participate at yet. I know that I read a lot of YA books throughout the year and would guess that somewhere between 25 and 50 is where I will end up.

May Addendum: Having already met my first goal, I'm upping myself to the next level. Now I'll be trying for "Stepping It Up"
