I enjoyed doing the Triple 8 reading challenge this past year--even though I didn't finish.  I loved the idea of making categories for different types of books.  So, I decided this year, I would do something similar, but lower my expectations a bit.  Especially with a new baby coming, I knew I needed to aim for less books.  I also decided to take into consideration, all the books on my shelves I have been meaning to get to.

So, without further ado--here is what I have come up with so far for my 2009 reading challenge:
