Okay, so this year Teddy over at So Many Precious Books, So Little Time is hosting this year’s “A Well-Rounded Challenge” You can click on the image above to go to the challenge page. I participated in last year’s version and needed it desperately. This year I need this challenge even more desperately! I have really been struggling with my challenges and I didn’t even sign up for too many this year. So when I saw this one come through on my reader I was very excited! Hopefully this will help me jump-start back into challenge. Here is what Teddy wrote:

August 1, 2009-December 31, 2009

Last year Jan of Jottings from Jan hosted this challenge. I agreed to host it this year.

The goal of this challenge is to help us finish some of the book challenges that we are participating in.

Here’s how it works:

There are 5 months left for the year, so we will read a total of 5 books, each one for a different challenge. If you are not in 5 different challenges then read at least one book for each challenge that you are in.

*Any combination of challenges works and you can change them at any time.

*You must be signed up with the other challenges.

*You may listen to eAudio, cassette tapes or compact discs.

*You may not read all five books from the same challenge.

*You don’t have to blog or write a review (but you can if you want to). Please use Mr. Linky to link to your reviews.

*Even if a challenge begins after August 1st you may use it for this challenge.

*Even if a challenge ends after 12/31/09 you may use it for this challenge.

*Sign-ups begin now and run through 9/1/2009. Please use Mr. Linky to sign up for this challenge.

*Have Fun!

That being said, I am signed up for 6 challenges right now. The 100+ Reading Challenge is about the only one that I am consistently working on (because well everything I read can count towards it!) So, I’m going to read a selection from my other challenge lists:

• 1st in a Series Challenge
  • Real Murders by Charlaine Harris
• Celebrate the Author Challenge
  • When the Bough Breaks by Jonathan Kellerman
• Countdown Challenge
  • Dancing with Ana by Nicole Barker
• 2009 Read Your Own Books
  • The Piper’s Sons by Bruce Chandler Fergusson
• What’s in a Name 2 Challenge
  • ‘D’ is for Deadbeat by Sue Grafton

I’m definitely looking forward to this one!!!
