National Just Read More Novels Month 2010 (also known as NaJuReMoNoMo) ends today. The challenge was hosted by yellojkt of Foma and the idea was to read some novels (as opposed to non-fiction, memoirs etc) during the month of January.

The books I read in January were:

The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
Madame Verona Comes Down the Hill by Dimitri Verhulst
The Divine Sacrifice by Tony Hays
The End of the Alphabet by CS Richardson
Spring Bear by Betsy Connor Bowen

That’s 5 books which means I’m a Silver Winner.

January is National Just Read More Novels Month 2010 hosted by yellojkt of Foma.

Here are the rules, taken from the NaJuRedMoNoMo post:

1. Must Be A Novel. Works of fiction only, please. Memoirs, non-fiction, how-to books, and Garfield collections don’t count.
2. Memoirs Aren’t Novels. No matter how made up the story, anything ostensibly true isn’t a novel. Also known as The James Frey Rule.
3. Start and Finish in January. I guess if you got some cool books for Christmas, Hanukkah or some other gift-giving event and jumped the gun, you can’t be blamed. But I only count books I start and finish within the 31 day window.
4. Re-reading Doesn’t Count. Try something new. Read something by your favorite author or try an entirely new author or tackle that novel you have always wanted to read.
5. Have Fun. Nobody is grading you or paying you or judging you. Read what you like and like what you read.
