2010 Reading Challenges...

In January of 2010 I joined four reading challenges for the year and was still involved in a previous reading challenge that ran from 2009 into 2010. So I had a total of 5 reading challenges I participated in. And I then had my own annual "March Menage Month" reading challenge.

So this these are the challenges I joined and how well or not so well I did at them in 2010!

The 2010 year found me diving deeply into YA books and Urban Fantasy. While these books often contain some romance, I don't usually consider them A Romance Book which is the major reason I failed the last romance reading challenge. My reading time was consumed with UF and YA with a few romances and erotic reads tossed in along the way. It's interesting because in 2009 I read mostly romance and paranormal romance. Makes me wonder just what 2011 has in store for me!
