9 for '09

9 for '09This one looked like just the thing to get my TBR pile down a little. :) No picking up new books to complete this one, they must all come from the stacks! and I’m only allowed to overlap with other challenges three times!

More importantly it starts on my birthday! What more reason do I need? :)

  • The book must already be in your bookcase or storage area.
  • The Challenge starts 27/12/08 to 27/12/09.
  • You can post starting on 27/12/08.
  • Format of work can be paper, audio, or electronic.
  • These are the NINE categories to celebrate 2009!

Find out more about the challenge and catch up on everybody’s reviews, here.
