Cybils Award Challenge

Michelle over at Galleysmith is hosting a great contest to get us reading some of the chosen books from 2009 to be up for the Cybils award.

I am going to be ... insane. And I am going to ATTEMPT to finish three categories this year. Yes, I am insane.

I'm going for the level of participation of

• Categorically Speaking – choose to read all books in a category

And I am going to try to read all of the books in these three Categories:

• Graphic Novels: Middle Grade
• Graphic Novels: Young Adult
• Fiction: Fantasy & Science Fiction (YA)

I was going to go easy on myself but if I do that last one I'll be knocking out a ton of my TBR pile and that's one of my goals for this coming year... I'm attempting not to buy two more bookshelves...

So, wish me luck and I am waiting to be barraged with the "You are totally insane girl" comments. :)
