Book Blogger Recommendation Challenge 2012

I have seen this challenge a few times around the blogesphere but I was weary about joining because I know me and challenges lol. But I finally gave in...mainly because it is more of a recommendation more than anything else.

  • Chose your own books from the list. You can decide to read books only on the Top 25 list or from the entire recommendation list. You do not have to make a list of books before the challenge begins.
  • All forms of books acceptable (audiobooks, eBooks, etc.)
  • Rereads do not count towards the completion of the challenge. The challenge is about discovering books that are new to you.
  • You don't need a blog to participate.
  • Reviews, while always appreciated, are not mandatory.
I am going to take it easy and go with Level 2 which is 10 books. If I read more than 10 off the list, neat!
