Michelle from 3m is hosting a shortened version of the Book Awards challenge which will run from July 1st through December 1st, 2009.
Since I just finished Book Awards 2, yesterday, I really don't have it in me to start this mini version.
BUT! She will be hosting Book Awards 4, which will run from February to December 2010. That one I am interested in joining, but obviously I am a wee bit early.
What does one do when she is home sick for the second day with a tummy bug. Why, pick out books for a challenge that is 10 months away!

I can't resist a challenge either. I read Curious Incident and Out Stealing Horses, enjoyed them.
I like the look of this challenge, but I think I might wait too until next year.
Now that's planning ahead!! Hope you're feeling better.
