Catherine writes books for YA and Adult, and this challenge ecompases everything. Read what you like and feel good about it!
To sign up for this challenge, you have to agree to read ONE Catherine Ryan Hyde book in 2011. Great odds of succeeding, isn't it? I don't want to make it too hard. I just want people to start reading more of her books, spreading the word, and hopefully helping a wonderful author have some awesome sales next year.
Obviously, you can borrow a book from the library or get it second hand...but if you can buy at least one book, it would mean a lot. Especially if it's one of her new ones like Jumpstart the World that came out a couple months ago.
Feel free to divvy up the books for other challenges too if you can! We certainly don't mind!
Want to sign up? Use the Mr. Linky below!
So what do you read? Here is a complete list of Catherine's books and visit her website for more information.
Jumpstart the World
Second Hand Heart
When I Found You
Diary of a Witness
The Day I Killed James
Chasing Windmills
The Year of my Miraculous Reappearance
Love in the Present Tense
Becoming Chloe
Walter's Purple Heart
Electric God/The Hardest Part of Love
Pay It Forward
Earthquake Weather
Funerals for Horses
If you sign up for this giveaway, please post the button if you can. Amanda from the Zen Leaf was kind enough to make it for us, and I love it! You can simply link to your blog or you can make a post about this challenge and link to that in the Mr. Linky above. It's up to you!! But the button would look great in your sidebar. ;-) I want as many people as possible to join this, as I think it will be fun.
We'll have lots of fun giveaways throughout the year as well, so you definitely want to join up to enter those!

I have JUMPSTART THE WORLD so I should sign up for this. But then I might never read it given my track record with challenges.
Liviana: You still should! You just might get it read. :-)
I've got Electric God & Funerals for Horses to read, so this is perfect!l
i'm in. this will be fun. thanks!
Okay so I have never heard of this author, but I have seen the movie version of her book Pay It Forward which I liked up till the end..lol.
So I will sign up for this challenge in hopes of maybe reading one of her books and learning a bit about a author I have never read. :)
Thanks so much Ladystorm! I hope you'll enjoy a book, and find a new author you enjoy. :)

I absolutely loved JUMPSTART THE WORLD, and since it's one of the titles I want to review for my blog, this is great. Definitely want to read her other titles, too!
My blog has a URL, but is brand new, so if anyone checks there and see no posts, that's because there won't be any until I do some sort of launch in January. :)
Can't wait to read more of Catherine's great books!
I'm in and Chloe too. I will read Funeral for Horses and Chloe will read Jumpstart the World, we better get to the bookstore!
Always looking for another author to love! I'll give one a try!
I've read most of her books so far: I only have yet to read Second Hand Heart, When I Found You, Diary of a Witness, and Electric God.
She's such an incredible writer: this is one challenge that is sure to be a delight!
I'm looking forward to "meeting" a new author.
Can't wait to read Jumpstart the World!
This sounds like such a fun reading project for the new year!! :)
I will be reading Jumpstart the World in 2011 - my first CRH book. :)
Alright! As you know, I DO have Jumpstart the World, so I will be joining in! :) Thanks for the heads up!
Oh! AND the button is WAY too cute!
Thanks for showing me this challenge!

I just posted my review for Jumpstart the World. It was a fantastic (and important) book.
