NOTICE: (Updated March 5, 2010)
Beginning December 19, 2009, Books 'N Border Collies will be posting but only intermittently while I pursue personal goals. I plan to share some reading I'm doing, but there will be no reviews. I will, however, be sharing my exploration of vegetarian cooking and the cookbooks and websites I use to educate myself. I hope you enjoy it!

2009 Decades Challenge
This was the first Challenge I ever signed up for and the first one I actually finished. I'm excited to do it again for 2009. I'm not going to pick an exact plan, but in the spirit of "9", I'm going to cover 1910-1990. I'll decide the specific books as I go along. Click on the year for a list of potential reads. So many great ones to choose from!!

Ooo, this one sounds interesting. I might just sign up. Since I'll have all this time on my hands now!!! I'm not big on challenges, but I like the sound of this one.
