I have participated in this challenge for the past two years and enjoyed it. I barely made it last year so I hope to spread my books out more this year. I have not decided which ten decades I am going to do so I am going to list the possibilities I have come up with so far. Open to suggestions. :)
Decades 2010 Rules:
Read a minimum of 10 books in 10 consecutive decades in 2010.
Books published in the 2000’s do not count.
Titles may be cross-posted with any other challenge.
You may change your list at any time.
Peruse the eligible book lists and reviews from previous years (found on the sidebar). Any book from that decade is eligible; it doesn’t have to be on the list to qualify. A 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.

Glad to see you're joining again!
I was telling Michelle that I don't know that I can do this one this year but I will see how many I do read that fits into the challenge.
