Looking Ahead to 2009

Looking ahead for 2009 Challenges, I know I want to try to keep it simple this year, but I am also kicking myself for not trying the 888 Challenge. I "know" I am going to want to try a 10, 10 in 2010 Challenge, so I am thinking the 999 Challenge would be great practice. Since I only managed 59 books this year, I know 81 will be a bit out of reach, but ya never know. My main goal is just to read as many books as I can, and it doesn't upset me a bit if I don't manage to complete any goals. I am just thrilled to be inspired to READ!

Some possible categories for 999: (I think these WILL be my categories actually)

1. Holiday
2. Anything from a Series
3. Kindle books
4. Children's Picture Books
5. Juvenile/Young Adult
6. Cozy Mystery
7. Agatha Raisin
8. Foreign
9. Library

Okay, I am so wanting to do this 999 Challenge that I even made the recommended Ticker! Looks like I'm going to go for it! Even if I don't manage the 999, reading a total of 81 books for the year would be AWESOME!

I am also planning on 2009 TBR. I didn't complete this one for '08 either, but 4 books off the TBR is better than NO books off the TBR. LOL
