9-9-9 Reading Challenge

In the spirit of continuing the 8-8-8 reading challenge from last year a group of ladies on the Well-Trained Mind board are going to participate in a 9-9-9 challenge. For those who aren't familiar with the concept the idea is to read 9 books in 9 categories in 2009.

To be honest I didn't come anywhere close to finishing this year's reading list - I just got too distracted by other books. So this year I've picked the categories and left myself a lot of blank space to fill up as I go. Hopefully, this way I can accomplish a bit more than I did last year!

Here are my categories:
