Puss Reboots - Decades Challenge (8 decades in 2008)

Did you participate in the By the Decade Challenge last year? Would you like to again? Or, if you didn't take part in 2007, are you interested in doing so?

The rules are simple:

1. Read a minimum of 8 books in 8 consecutive decades in ‘08.

2. Books published in the 2000's do not count.

3. Titles may be cross-posted with any other challenge.

4. You may change your list at any time.

5. Peruse the eligible book lists and reviews from last year. Any book from that decade is eligible; it doesn't have to be on the list to qualify. Another good source to find out when books were published is wikipedia. For example if you follow this link, you will see how easy it is to search books by a particular decade. Another resource is fantasticfiction.co.uk.

6. If you participated in By the Decade '07 and I didn't put your review up, please let me know in the comments for the appropriate decade and I'll include it in the space before the Mr. Linky. Please don't post '07 reviews in the Mr. Linky--that's for the '08 reviews.

7. Sign up through Mr. Linky below. Please use the url of your specific post for this challenge rather than just your blog url.

8. Come back and post your reviews in the appropriate Mr. Linky (I'll have them up after January 1). You are encouraged to post all the books you've read for that decade if you're participating in Decades '08.

9. Prizes: One credit or in-stock book each will be given away to 8 individuals through paperbackswap or bookmooch. International is okay. The grand prize winner will get 8 credits or in-stock books! If you complete 8 decades, that is one entry for the prize. For each additional decade you complete consecutively, that is an additional entry. So, if you complete 12 consecutive decades, that would be 5 entries for the prize.

10. Have fun reading!
