The Blonde Diaries

The title of this challenge is fairly easy and straightforward. MizB (click button) is hosting the Read Your Own Books Challenge in 2010 with the goal of getting more of the books sitting around your house read. I have a good number of books just lying around thanks to the Houston Library Sale last summer that are just waiting to be read. I also have books that my friend bought at the sale and has since finished that just appeared on my doorstep today so the books are really starting to pile up around here.

I am going to aim to read a total of 10 books that are either sitting on my shelf or were passed along to me by my friend. I am hoping to read more than 10 but I have other challenges I need to get to as well!

The rules are simple:

* Pick a number of books you’d like to read in one year
* 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

For 2010 I read the following books either on my bookshelf or borrowed from a friend:
~ Sugar Daddy by Lisa Kleypas
~ Blue Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas
~ Smooth Talking Stranger by Lisa Kleypas
~ The Cinderella Deal by Jennifer Crusie
~ The Wedding Girl by Madeleine Wickham
~ A Total Waste of Makeup by Kim Gruenenfelder
~ Teen Idol by Meg Cabot
~ Bubbles Unbound by Sarah Strohmeyer

I know I read more than that but it is too difficult to try and remember!
