I am hosting a new challenge this year! This is my first time hosting a challenge, so please don’t hesitate to contact me if you see any problems or want to make suggestions!
The “We Didn’t Start the Fire” challenge runs from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010.
Do you know Billy Joel’s song “We Didn’t Start the Fire?” The song has plenty of historical and pop culture references, which offer us book junkies plenty of opportunities for reading material! I like 80s music, especially this song, but I don’t know anything about some of the things in the song. The goal of this challenge is for you to learn about some of the many topics mentioned in the song.
I want this challenge to be flexible for you, so all I want you to do is pick a level of commitment and stick to it! You don’t need to list your books beforehand or write a certain amount of reviews. Overlaps with other challenges are absolutely fine!
This site has the lyrics to the song as well as a video with pictures of what each thing in the song is as well as a link to a site for each topic for more detail.

Here are the levels:

I will put up another post for you to link to your reviews in January.
Feel free to use the graphic at the beginning of the post! Good luck and have a blast!

Hey-o, signing up here! I've never heard the song, so this challenge will expand my reading and music horizons, I guess.

This looks totally fun. Please count me in.
Wow I love this song & LOVE the video even more. My mom used to listen to this song all the time when I was a kid.

What a clever idea for a challenge :-)
