  1. Golly gee, that's a lot of challenges! =O

    I'm doing the 2010 Debut Author Challenge and the 100+ Challenge. I've never done a reading challenge before, so I think I'm just gonna stick with those two so I don't get overwhelmed. I found some really interesting sounding books for 2010DAC, I can't wait to get a few of them. :)

    Good luck with your challenges! ^_^

  2. I once wrote down how many books I read in a year, curious to see how much I actually read. I only did it that one year and was amazed at how much reading I did.

    Inspired by that year long ago, I'd like to get more reading done in 2010.
