Decades '09

Via 3M

Rules

1. Read a minimum of 9 books in 9 consecutive decades in ‘09.

2. Books published in the 2000’s do not count.

3. Titles may be cross-posted with any other challenge.

4. You may change your list at any time.

5. Peruse the eligible book lists and reviews from 2008 or 2007. Any book from that decade is eligible; it doesn’t have to be on the list to qualify. A good source to find out when books were published is wikipedia. For example if you follow this link, you will see how easy it is to search books by a particular decade. Another resource is fantasticfiction.co.uk.

7. Sign up on this page at 1morechapter.com to take part as well.

    I read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Fahrenheit 451, and To Kill a Mockingbird all for the first time last year, and I loved all of them! Hope you do, too.
