I've only completed one challenge in the last 6 months so I'm feeling a little challenge guilt.

So far it's the Latin America challenge and the 9 for 09. I'm sure I'll do Carl's challenges and a few others. Have fun planning your challenges for next year! I’m a challenge addict too :)

So many very interesting challenges, even ones I've not seen before (I guess I'm still a newbie!). I like your attitude toward them. They <em>are</em> so fun to plan. Are you still going to host a nonfiction challenge that you hinted about a few months ago? Welcome back!

Are you still going to host a nonfiction challenge that you hinted about a few months ago?

That one really appeals to me because of the randomness of the categories! **Addendum to my comment to Bart: I totally mixed up 9 for ‘09 with a different challenge, lol.

So many presidents, so many dead white men...lol Sarah, I will-thanks for the link! Jeff, definitely not tacky. ;) That's why I did the post-I'll definitely be joining in again next year! RaiderGirl, thanks! Lists are definitely the best. Lena, thanks for the link: you've made a truly gorgeous blog for the challenge. So impressed! Melanie, it's totally the thought that counts... Lezlie, I haven't heard about one...I'm doing awfully at this year's one, but it doesn't bother me too much, hehe. Emily, yay! Karin, oh the A-Z challenge; I'm unofficially doing that one, but I want both title and author for my review directory. Nymeth, Lambda? Have to link into that one! Bart, wow: 9 for '09 the ultimate list-making challenge. But I'm not sure I'm ready for that level of commitment, lol http://www.carnegie.ru/ru/pubs/workpapers/WP_3_2008%20indd.pdf

I just can't. The ones I'm joining for sure are: What's in a Name 2, my challenge with Rhinoa in which we each pick 5 books for the other to read, the Manga challenge she's hosting, and the Lambda Award challenge. The ones I'm tempted by: TBR lite challenge, Science Book Challenge, New Authors Challenge. I'm sure there are more I can't remember at the moment. I just want to avoid having too many going at the same time, because when I do I tend to feel overwhelmed. So I guess I'll focus on about 4 and then maybe join more after I finish those.

And now A to Z (I have chosen the author option on that). Still need to make my list and I think I will add the Orbis Terrarum, too. Read Your Own Books Challenge and again the To Be Read Challenge.
