TwentyTen Reading Challenge

This challenge is hosted at Bart's Bookshelf. The aim is to read a total 20 books, over ten categories, in 2010.

1. Young Adult
Any book classified as young adult or featuring a teenage protagonist counts for this category.
Swim the Fly by Don Calame
The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

2. T.B.R. **
Intended to help reduce the old T.B.R. pile. Books for this category must be already residents of your bookshelves as of 1/11/09.
Becoming Lucy by Martha Rogers
The Secret of Everything by Barbara O'Neal


3. Shiny and New
Bought a book NEW during 2010 from a bookstore, online, or a supermarket? Then it counts for this category. Second-hand books do not count for this one, but, for those on book-buying bans, books bought for you as gifts or won in a giveaway also count!
An Echo In The Bone by Diana Gabaldon
Private by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro


4. Bad Blogger’s
Books in this category, should be ones you’ve picked up purely on the recommendation of another blogger count for this category (any reviews you post should also link to the post that convinced you give the book a go).
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld recommended by Dar of Peeking Between The Pages
Italian For Beginners recommended by Staci of Life In The Thumb


5. Charity
Support your local charity shops with this category, by picking up books from one of their shops. Again, for those on book-buying bans, books bought for you as gifts also count, as long as they were bought from a charity shop.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
The Valley of The Dolls by Jacqueline Susann


6. New in 2010
This category is for those books newly published in 2010 (whether it be the first time it is has been released, or you had to wait for it to be published in your country, it counts for this one!)

The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova

7. Older Than You
Read two books that were published before you were born, whether that be the day before or 100 years prior!
The Foundling by Georgette Heyer
Persuasion by Jane Austen

8. Win! Win!

9. Who Are You Again?
This one isn’t just for authors you’ve never read before, this is for those authors you have never even heard of before!
