It's so tempting to join the book challenges starting in 2010. But after going to Borders yesterday and seeing all the books there, I'm even more tempted not to sign up for a challenge. I'm tired of the one I'm doing now because I feel obligated. The challenge list on my sidebar is starting to weigh me down. Especially because there are so many books I want to just pick up at the book store and start reading!
So, I think my New Year's resolution is going to be to not sign up for any book challenges. Except...maybe one - J. Kaye's 2010 100+ Book Challenge. I'm participating in a similar one through Goodreads this year, and the only obligation is to read 100 or more books in a year. Any books you want. I don't think I'm going to meet my goal this year, since I'm only on book #80 and there are just a few weeks left in the year. That's okay though, 80 is good, and I love not feeling obligated to read certain books.
What about you? Which book challenges, if any, will you be participating in?

Hi Lynne - great post! I too am doing the 100 as since this book blogging has taken off I dont see that number being an issue. :)
I have signed up for others... I am doing the YA one (love the genre), the Historical Fiction one (it is small I can read 6), there is a mystery one and a Christian Fiction one... all of which I think I would be reading anyway and they fit into the big 100 one too! :)
Sheila, it is nice when a book fits into more than one challenge. Who knows, I probably will sign up for something eventually.
Can I just tell you that never once have I followed through with a New Year's resolution? The last resolution I made was probably 20 years ago because I have no willpower. So I figure why bother making them. :) LOL
