Here's the forum for this year's challenge. We already have 11 people in this challenge and 4 books read! Glad to see so many familiar names! And welcome new folks! I'll be starting the year with some books by authors I never read before, so I won't have any of my slots filled for a little while.

Feel free to share where you're at in your challenge and what books struck you as particularly great, or just let us know how you're doing.

Location: suburb of Minneapolis, MN		I have 3 left for this challenge. All are Terry Pratchett, Diskworld.

1. Mort
2. Nightwatch
3. Monstrous Regiment
4. Thief of Time
5. Amazing Maurice and his educated Rodents
6. Hatful of Sky
7. Wee Free Men
8. World of Poo <-- didn't enjoy - clearly for young kids
9. Last Hero

While some of these are intended for a young market, they were enjoyable except for World of Poo. My goal is to finish DIskworld this year.
