RYOB Challenge 2010


I have decided to participate in another challenge for 2010. I will be doing the RYOB (Read Your Own Books) Challenge which is hosted by MizB


Here are the rules:


For 2010, I am planning to continue with the RYOB (Read Your Own Books) challenge! The rules are simple:
  • Pick a number of books you’d like to read in one year (about 100 for me)
  • Choose those books from your OWN collection
  • Read them between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010 
And, that’s it!


Some other guidelines for this challenge:

  • Re-Reads are NOT allowed (the challenge is to get more of your own books read that have been sitting there waiting!)
  • Audiobooks & e-books ARE allowed
  • You do NOT need a blog to participate — you can leave comments on this post with your progress



Click on the name after Jan. 1, 2010 to go to the page for Mr. Linky. I have also put a button for the challenge in my sidebar.


This challenge dovetails nicely with my TBR Challenge (also hosted by MizB) and the 2010 E Book Challenge (hosted by Royal Reviews). I will be updating this post with the titles of the books I read for this challenge.
