Well, why not? And since I can count YA books, I should be able to complete this challenge much more easily than my Pub 2009 challenge!
Here are some of the rules:
1. The goal of this challenge is to read the number of books first published in a given year that corresponds to the last digit of each year in the 2000s — 10 books from 2010, 9 books from 2009, 8 books from 2008, etc. The total number of books required, therefore, is 55.
2. This challenge lasts from 9/9/09 through 10/10/10.
3. Crossovers with other challenges are allowed and your lists may change at any time.
To read the rest and sign up yourself, check out 1morechapter!
Total: 28/55

I quite like it, since it’ll help me knock some books off my TBR pile!
(And good luck with your SRC, of course. Keep at it! You can do it!)

This is my first time participating in this challenge, and I hope I can complete it
Come visit me here if you’d like. I’ve already read a couple of books for this challenge. I think it’s going to be fun
