UPDATED - challenges for 2007 and 2008

Since my life is quite hectic and I don't even get to read much right now, I've decided to leave all challenges until December. Then I'll make a fresh start with a clean slate and no worries about the past. And with definitely much less challenges! LOL

I came to the conclusion, that I'll do my own Series Challenge, the Book A Week Challenge with the Yahoo Group, once again the TBR Challenge, and the YA Challenge.

My challenge book lists are:

for the Series Challenge
Laura Childs' Tea Shop mysteries (#6 Chamomile Mourning to end) (3)
Carolyn Haines' Sarah Booth Delaney mysteries (#4 Crossed Bones to end) (4)
Tohko Mizuno: In A Distant Time (#5 to end) (3)
Arina Tanemura: Shinshi Doumei Cross (#4 to end) (4)
Arina Tanemura: Full Moon Wo Sagashite (#3 to end) (5)
-> 19 books
