Here it is the challenge of the year.

Can you read 50 books through the year of 2007....starting from Jan 1st 07....(so if you have already read one then you can add it) All you have to do is each time you have finished a book add it to your list, it can be a book of any sort. If there is a particular book you liked then why not give us a short review on it and enspire someone else to pick it up and give it a read.

So all that is left for me to say is good Luck.....so who's uo for the challenge?

Just finished reading Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks over Christmas, it was loaned to me by sis-in-law who reccomended it. It's pretty graphic in parts, being about the front line in the First World War, but is an excellent read.
