Introducing…
CHALLENGE STARTS: January 1st, 2009
CHALLENGE ENDS: December 31st, 2009
For those who love the original TBR Challenge, but need a little less “pressure” on their reading, the TBR Challenge *LITE* offers you that option!
You have your choice of ONE of the 3 options:
OPTION A: read 6 books in 12 months ~ your list of books CANNOT be changed, but you are allowed to have an “Alternates” list to choose from (like in the Original TBR Challenge).
OPTION B: read 6 books in 12 months ~ you CAN change your reading list throughout the year
OPTION C: make up a list of however many books you think you could get read in 12 months, as long as they are from your TBR stack/list, and then read them between January 1st and December 31st. You must have at least 3 books on your list.
Some Other General Guidelines:
- You are allowed to overlap with other challenges
- Audiobooks are allowed
- e-Books are allowed, but must still be books that you’ve wanted to read for at least 3, or more, months
- You should still have a list of books posted somewhere for others to see
- You don’t have to read your books in the order you put them on your list
Buttons, like the one above, have been created for your use! Check out the Buttons page!
A Yahoo! Group has been set up for this challenge ~ feel free to join!

Um, Cheryl, for Option B, you should only have 6 books listed… and you don’t really need the alternates list, as you can change your list any time throughout the year with that option.
Just FYI…

I’m in with option B (as I stated in the Yahoo group earlier this month). My list is not yet up, but I intend to have it done until Dec 31.
Btw, I think it’s great that you offer this lite version. I failed horribly withthe previous challenges…
I’m in for Option B. I don’t have my list yet but my challenge post is here.
This one sounds perfect – please sign me up. I’m going with Option B, and my post and list will be up by tomorrow. Thanks so much for hosting.

It has my six selections as well as my six alternates.

I’m signing up for option B and will post a list later tonight.
I’m in and joining the Yahoo group today.
I participated in last years TBR Challenge and missed completing it by one book. I think this one will be a bit more flexible and I’ll enjoy more – It’s all about finidng a bit of stress-free motivation!
hi, i’m opting for c. 3 books are quite enough for me, hehe.
