Countdown Challenge

It might be an insane task, but why not: I'll try to complete 3M's Countdown Challenge!



1. The goal of this challenge is to read the number of books first published in a given year that corresponds to the last digit of each year in the 2000s — 9 books from 2009, 8 books from 2008, etc. The total number of books required, therefore, is 45.
2. This challenge lasts from 8/8/08 through 9/9/09. Yes, it is retroactive to August 8th!
3. Crossovers with other challenges are allowed and your lists may change at any time.
4. Sign up using Mr. Linky below.
5. Have fun reading!


As it is retroactive, I will have to check my past reads. Once I'm done, I will post the list.
