Our friend and BOTNS listener Melissa has started a reading challenge that intrigues me:  the 10-10-10 Reading Challenge. Read 10 books each in 10 genres that you don’t normally read, and complete it by October 10th, 2010.

I can’t do 10 in each category, but I can try to read one in each category.

Genres I choose:

• Science
• Romance
• Science Fiction
• Indie press
• Self-published
• Business
• Cozy Mystery
• Self-help/psychology
• History
• Classic (pre 1900)

It might be cheating a little, but I already know the history title I am going to read. The others will likely be a combination of work reading and recommendations from bookseller friends. In any event, I’m sure it will be an interesting journey. If you’d like to join me, visit the 10-10-10 Reading Challenge blog and sign up!

(edited to add the 10th category. Evidently one of my challenges for 2010 is to learn how to count.)
