Completed Challenge: 2009 Support Your Local Library Reading Challenge


J. Kaye's Book Blog hosted the 2009 Support Your Local Library Reading Challenge.  It is so sad to me that it has really taken me this long to read just 12 books from my library this year.  When I worked at the library, it was so easy to grab books because I was always there anyway.  Now it is a bit more of an effort to get there, especially fitting it in between feeding and nap times.  I haven't had nearly as much time to read this year either which means I've needed fewer books from the library.  I am happy to say that I at least did complete the challenge, even it if was at the lowest possible level.  Here is my final list of books from the library:

2009 Support Your Local Library Reading Challenge List

1. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
2. The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong (Darkest Powers book 1)
3. Timeline by Michael Crichton (audio CD)
4. Ill Wind by Rachel Caine (Weather Warden book 1)
5. Heat Stroke by Rachel Caine (Weather Warden book 2)
6. Chill Factor by Rachel Caine (Weather Warden book 3)
7. Undone by Brooke Taylor

Completed Challenge: 1st in a Series 2009



 The 1st in a Series 2009 Challenge is hosted by J. Kaye's Book Blog.  The challenge was to read 12 books that were the first book in a series.  I am extremely happy to say that I have finally finished this challenge!!  This was much harder for me than I had expected.  Not because I couldn't find 12 new series to read but because once I'd read the first book in a series, I wanted to continue on with that series until I was caught up!

J. Kaye will not be hosting this challenge for 2010 but the challenge will continue over at Royal Reviews.  Although I am still debating what challenges, if any, I will be participating in for 2010 I do know this will not be one of them.  I think I have enough series started as it is without adding any more!

Here is my final list:

1. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead (Vampire Academy Series Book 1)
2. The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong (Darkest Powers Trilogy Book 1)
3. Sword Quest by Sabrina Vasta (Sword Quest Series Book 1)
4. Once Bitten by Kalayna Price (The Haven Series Book 1)
5. The Side-Yard Superhero by Rick D. Niece (Life in DeGraff Trilogy Book 1)
6. Ill Wind by Rachel Caine (Weather Warden Book 1)
7. The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley (The Buckshaw Chronicles Book 1)
8. Storm Front by Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files Book 1)
9. The Mask of Ra by P. C. Doherty (Egyptian Mysteries Book 1)
10. Armageddon's Children by Terry Brooks (The Genesis of Shannara Book 1)
11. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (The Mortal Instruments Book 1)
12. Dhampir by Barb & J. C. Hendee (Noble Dead Book 1)
