Care To Join?

If you would like to join our 2009 book reading resolution, we are happy to have you!

Here are the ground rules:

• You must read 50 (or more) books.
• The bulk of them should be traditional chapter books for adults, teens, or books considered YA.
• Non-fiction is allowed.
• Audio books are allowed without restrictions. Unless abridged. Two abridged count as one book. One unabridged Audio Book counts as one book.
• You are allowed 5 guilty pleasure reads of your choice. They include non traditional books such as graphic novels, magazines, newspapers, or children's picture books.
• You do not need to include guilty pleasure reads if you choose to follow these rules: 15 Children's books = 1 book / 5 Magazines (if read cover to cover, ie, every article) = 1 book / 5 Graphic Novels/Manga = 1 book.
• After reading a book, please post a response. Please write a 3-5 sentences describing your opinion on the book. Talk about why you liked (or did not like!) the book. Discuss topics the author's style or anything that made the story or setting unique. You decide!
• If you are doing the 5 Magazines = 1 (or the other equivalent types), please include all reviews for the read materials in ONE entry. For instance if I was posting about my 15 Children's books, one post would include my opinion on ALL of them. These longer entries may have shorter reviews in order to save time and space.
• Children's book reviews only need a one sentence response.
• No flaming or abuse is allowed. Be polite to all members! Handle adult topics with maturity and appropriate langue.
