Unfortunately I won't be doing the challenge because I'm such a slow reader, even though I read every day. But I will be keeping a list and I hope I remember to post it at the end of the year!
You are sure to do this again!
I will but most of the books will be picture books :0).
Bish - it's good to see someone who knows what she can do and is ready to do it. :) I'm looking forward to reading your list! :)
Kelly - nothing wrong with picture books, especially since that's what you write, right? I'm reading mostly YA and MG, because that's what I write. So go ahead and keep a list of picture books! :)
I saw the announcement about your blog in the Illinois SCBWI listserve. I love this 50 book challenge. I have a children's/teen's blog too, called READ THESE BOOKS AND USE THEM, so I read a lot of books or listen to them on audiotape. I have also had another friend recommend Shelfari. So, I might just look into it. Anyway, keep up the good work. :)

You are doing so well with this. I need to make up my list. But at least I've been reading, right?
Thanks! And yes, just keep reading. :)
Wonderful site, Tabitha.
Haven't kept track of what I've read this year, but I must be up to about twenty books of various genres at this point. This list is great and I'm going to do my best to work my way through as the year progresses.
