Okay, I Lied

So yesterday I posted that I was not going to sign up for anymore challenges. Today I signed up for the Chunkster Challenge 2008. Trying to read 4 chunky books over the course of the year isn't so bad though, because three of my books fit some of my other challenges! So here are my books for this new challenge, and that's it, I swear!

Marie Antoinette; The Journey by Antonia Fraser
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon
Life Mask by Emma Donoghue
Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn

Another Day, Another Challenge

I've joined in on the In Their Shoes reading challenge now. That's three challenges and with the 24 Book Challenge Group at Shelfari and the Book a Week group at Yahoo, I hope to whittle down my ridiculously large TBR pile. I am not buying books, just trading at Paperbackswap . Unfortunately with my large cache of credits there, the pile dosen't grow, just doesn't recede either. Lately this has been bothering me, since I feel obligated to read all these books. I think in the next few weeks I may do a book purge and clean out my shelves of books I am no longer interested in. I'm waiting for a rainy or snowy day to just stay home and do it!
