999 Challenge

I've thought and thought about the 999 Challenge trying to decide what to do. I did okay on the 888 challenge (only missing 8 books) hosted by 3m, but was unable to complete it. However, I am dedicating 2009 to be the year of challenges. So, I think I'll be able to participate in this challenge due to the fact I am involved in so many challenges that I have enough categories to use in the 999 Challenge.

To make the challenge harder - they suggested that you try to read them before 09/09/09. That is too unrealistic for me, so I am going to challenge myself to read them from 01/01/09 to 12/31/09. I am also going to try not to have any overlaps between categories (although overlaps with other challenges are okay).

This challenge is being sponsored by Library Thing, but they also have a blog dedicated to it too. I am not an active member in Library Thing - I enjoy Shelfari because of the ease of use (besides I started in Shelfari first - LOL). However, I am going to join them in this challenge.

Thanks J.Kaye for the use of this great button!! I love buttons with my challenges - helps me keep track of them.

So here are my categories...of course, they are always subject to change.
