TBR Lite Challenge book list

For those who love the original TBR Challenge, but need a little less “pressure” on their reading, the TBR Challenge *LITE* offers you that option!

You have your choice of ONE of the 3 options:

OPTION A: read 6 books in 12 months ~ your list of books CANNOT be changed, but you are allowed to have an “Alternates” list to choose from (like in the Original TBR Challenge).

OPTION B: read 6 books in 12 months ~ you CAN change your reading list throughout the year

OPTION C: make up a list of however many books you think you could get read in 12 months, as long as they are from your TBR stack/list, and then read them between January 1st and December 31st. You must have at least 3 books on your list.

The challenge runs from January 1 through December 31, 2009. Sign-ups are now open and can be done here.

I'm going with Option B because I always change my mind partway through. But I'm also shamelessly overlapping with multiple challenges, so it might not change. My list:

The Lite option certainly makes things easier, doesn't it? And a bit more doable.

I hope you enjoy Jane Eyre. It's one of my favorites. The Hound of the Baskervilles was good as well.

Good luck on the challenge!

Hope you enjoy Frankenstein as much as I did. At least it's short! I've never heard of the Plato & Platypus book; could be interesting!

I've been wanting to read Jane Eyre for years, I don't really know how I've missed it.

The Plato book title cracks me up -- I hope the book is as funny as I've heard.

How about an audio book challenge? Audio books are great during those times your hands and eyes are busy but your mind is free, like while driving, exercising, or preparing meals. Here's a good audio book challenge you may enjoy.
