I had so much fun with the Whitcoulls challenge this year, that I decided to repeat it for next year! Whitcoulls was my favourite bookstore in NZ. Every now and again they made a survey asking all their customers for their 3 favourite books. The top 100 made it into this list. So it's not a list of what people ought to read, or topsellers, but what people actually did read and love.Read Your Way Through The Whitcoulls Top 100 List.
Time:
* From November 15th, 2008 to November 15th, 2009.
The Rules:
* Pick one of the 4 "Top 100" lists linked below and decide how many books (at least 4) you want to read from that list.
* The initial 4 have to be 'new' reads (new to you, that is).
* Books beyond the initial 4 may be rereads.
* All books may be cross-overs for other challenges.
* Audio-books are A-OK :)
* You may change your list at any time.
* If you read enough books to actually complete one of the "Top 100" lists, I'll make a post in your honour!
The Lists:
1998, 2002, 2006, 2008

Hey count me in for the challenge.
Here is my list: http://bookwormygirl.blogspot.com/2008/10/whitcoulls-list-challenge.html
I just started learning about these challenges yesterday. I'm so terribly behind on these kinds of things! How do I do this? I don't understand what Mr. Linky is and I keep seeing bloggers mention it everywhere. When I do start the challenge, how do I show it on my blog the way I see it on others blogs?
tonyablum, I'm not going to use Mr. Linky, so just leave a link in the comments here to your list.
Great! One of these days I need to figure out that Mr. Linky thing though. Here's my list: http://storytimewithtonya.blogspot.com/2008/10/whitcoulls-challenge.html
