Melissa, I’m enjoying the one(s) I started. Thanks for the link! I don’t know how I forgot to officially sign up before…

Yummy list. Thanks for joining my challenge. Can't wait to see what you think of your books. You can see and post reviews here, just so you know.

Those are some great challenges. I joined two challenges last year and didn’t finish either one so I’ve been wary of them this year. Some of the ones you’ve listed look really fun, though, and I think I’m going to reconsider.

Care, the matching of the TBR with challenges i’s why I find them fun too!

Jeff, thanks for the challenge to join! I look forward to my reads!

Thanks for taking up the Science-Book Challenge for 2009. The Dawkin's book is big but easily digestible and well worth reading. I also like Napoleon's Buttons quite a bit. Some of the other authors are familiar from books I've enjoyed but I haven't read those titles. I'll be anxious to hear your thoughts. I've added your name to the official challenger's page. Please let me know if I got something wrong.

I am having fun trying to see if all the books I want to read fit challenges and I think I could overlap about 6! And last night, I looked up books for things I’m interested in reading about but it took forever and now I want to see if the library has it or bookmooch – it’s getting too complicated and time-consuming. But it IS fun! AND I still need to get back to Bloom’s HOW TO READ. sigh…

Vasilly, I’m glad it works for you. I’m sure some people are bored/overwhelmed with the whole list, but I wanted to keep it together. I’m looking forward to my reading this year! Happy New Year to you too!

I love this post! Instead of writing one long post, I wrote many short ones. This is much better! I see you and I joined some of the same challenges: 9 books for 09, Martel-Harper, Dewey, and World- Citizen. Good luck with your lists and happy new year!

Eva, glad to hear that they’ll count, and thanks for the reading lists. I’ll go check them out! Nymeth and Lezlie and Ladytink, it’s quite odd I’m joining so much; I wasn’t going to! But it does make planning my next read fun!

You’re making me feel better about the fact that I did a huge post like this today too Challenge addicts of the world, unite and take over! You’re joining some great challenges. Some of those I managed to resist so far…we’ll see if that lasts.

Great lists! Good luck with all your goals!

Oh, and just to let you know, books about U.S. foreign policy totally count for American citizens! I’m sorry if I didn’t make that clear enough in my challenge rules.

Eva,

I’m glad my book choices look okay. I had a really hard time finding books that weren’t about the USA. It seems most are about the USA….I look forward to see your recommendations and I may (probably) will rework my lists! I’m excited about the poetry. I don’t think I can wait until September! But like you say, so many goals so little time, so I probably will…

I’m so excited that you’re joining my challenge, and your choices look great! I’m hoping to have the challenge blog up on Monday, so sorry it’s taken so long. We’re in a lot of the same challenges, so it should be fun. Those poetry books you have listed look interesting-I really want to try to read more poetry this year. *sigh* So many goals, so little time!
