It will take place March 20th-June 20th (which is, not-so-coincidentally, the spring of 2011).
If you’d like to participate, here’s what you need to do:
I'll be reading from this list:
- Create a list of some books you’d like to read or finish this spring.
- Write a blog post including the list of books you want to read and any additional goals you’ve set, and get ready to post it on your blog on March 20th.
- Sign up using the Mister Linky on Katrina's Callapidder Days blog.
- Work on your goals by reading throughout Spring 2011.
- Report your results by writing another blog post in June to let everyone know how you did.
- Have fun! Visit other participants to see what they’re reading. Write reviews if you’re so inclined. But most of all, enjoy your spring reading.

Wow, what a list! I read Cutting for Stone last year and LOVED it. Have fun.
Cool idea for a challenge! You've got some interesting books on the list and I hope some are fun and happy books... that's what spring always feels like to me!
Wow, that is almost how many books I do in a year! Happy reading!
Being retired gives me a lot more time to read.
Wow -- long list! Looks like you'll have plenty of books, and plenty of variety, to keep you busy this spring. Thanks for being part of the challenge. I hope you enjoy all your spring reading!
