Christy Awards Challenge

Not sure if you've noticed, but already I have a picture of the Christy Awards logo and a status bar under it where I have been reading the Historical Fiction nominees of 2009. Well now I have discovered (thanks to Rel) that there is a Christy Awards Challenge that has started. Count me in! (Since I'm already part way there!)

Now... to find and read...
