While I was thinking about challenges, I came up not only with the Pages Read Challenge, but also with 5 (!!!) other challenges. And for some really, really crazy reason, I've decided to try to pull them all off for 2009!
So this one is the Vampire Challenge (stupid name, I know!). And I hope that with 3 one-word questions, I can answer most of the questions.
What?
For the Vampire Challenge you will read books with vampires - romance, YA, paranormal, mysteries - anything, as long as there's a or two (or more) vampire in it.
When?
The challenge will start January 1, 2009 and end December 31, 2009.
How?
The goal is to read 2+ books with vampires in 2009, that's it. It's fairly easy, I think. For some inspiration check out my post on vampires in books.
To sign up, please leave a comment here with a link to your blog post.

1) MaryJanice Davidson: Undead And Unappreciated

I will be in on this - I will commit to two - but no doubt will read more as I have more than two in my TBR pile
I have put up a post in my challenge blog:
http://myreadingchallanges.blogspot.com/2008/12/vampire-challenge.html
@ Sally: Glad you'll join me! I might also have more on Mt. TBR, but who knows with that monster? I'll just see what I can read in 2009.
I would like to try this one, I found so many things I didnt' think I would like last year and I did enjoy. Lindy
I'm in. Having finished the Twilight series I now have to find a new set of Vampire books to check out. I'm thinking the "True Blood" series might be good.
Open to suggestions.

Will be doing this one anyway too and 2 at least should be fun. Thanks.

Sounds interesting. After the Twilight Series who can resist a good vampire book. I am looking for suggestions because this is a relatively new genre for me. I have read the Charlaine Harris books and love them. Count me in.
Any chance that I could join in. I have two vampire books sitting in my pile. My two are by Karen Chance. I loved the Twilight series, so happy to do this. I will commit to 2,but know I will do more as there is another one in the series.
Newcomers are always welcome! Just leave a link so that I know where to link to, yes?
I would love to participate. My selections are listed here:

I already read 3 vampire books but am always looking for more. I have my list and reviews here: http://debbiesworld.wordpress.com/2009/01/26/vampire-challenge-2009/.
blondierocket-the true blood/sookie stackhouse series books by Charlaine Harris were pretty good. I had a hard time getting through book 1 but the rest were better.
Loved the Vampire Academy series and Vampire Diaries series (hoping to find time to reread this series this year)
Oh, you gotta count me in on this one! I am a vamp freak!
I'm in! Currently going to try for 5+ books. My post is here
