Renay had way too much fun dreaming up a title for this challenge. There are 2 choices - 342,745 Ways to Herd Cats or tl;dr, which stands for too long; didn't read. I don't understand what either one has to do with the challenge, and that's part of the fun. It's quirky. The main concept is similar to last year's Something About Me Challenge, only different.Here's how to play:
1. Make a list of ten books you love (or at least like).
2. Shate the list.
3. Browse the lists created by other members -- Reading lists sorted by bloggers or Master Reading List sorted alphabetically.
4. Read at least three (3) books recommended by others between May 1 - November 30, 2008.
5. Write reviews of the books you read.
6. Share the links to your reviews with Renay and all the other members of the challenge.
*** For the complete How To's go to Renay's blog where she explains it all much better.
I chose 10 books that I love and highly recommend. These are not necessarily my own personal top 10 favorites.
