Vanessa's Challenges 2009 :)

Vanessa's Challenges for 2009
(Wish me luck!!)
I've never done challenges before...so ere goes nothing...
Here are the challenges I'll be trying to complete this year. I'm starting half way through the year so lets see how many I can accomplish (while trying to go to school, work full time, hang with family, and TRY to have a social life! LOL!)
*I'll be updating this post often*

♥1st Challenge♥
Guardian 1000 Novels Challenge - Host: Biblio File

The British paper, The Guardian, has come up with a list of 1000 Novels Everyone Must Read Before They Die. (In case they take that link down, I've also posted the list here.)
So, the challenge is to read and review 10 books off the list (that's 1%) between February 1st of 2009 and February 1st of 2010.
Of these 10, you must read 1 from each category and, if possible, 1 should be a book you have never heard of until you saw it on this list.
Feel free to complain about certain books being included or not included.
Also, they have broken the list into smaller sections, with annotations, so you can see what a book is about before you check it out.

I will be adding the books I've read here:

♥2nd Challenge♥

Romance Reading Challenge - Host: The BookWorm

Rules:
1. Now, "Romance" isn't limited to steamy Harlequin novels. There is a huge selection of books in this category such as contemporary romance, historical romance, romantic suspense and paranormal romance to name a few. As long as the story has romantic love between the two main characters your selection will fit this challenge. The novels do not need to have a happy ending either, there can also be unrequited love.
2. Choose at least 5 novels read them between Jan 1st though Dec 31st 2009. You can change your choices at any time. Crossovers between other challenges are fine.
3. Read them at your own pace in 2009 then come here and post the link to your review(s).
4. Link your "RRC" choices here with any of these graphics:
