2008: Challenges – The 2009 100+ Reading Challenge

J. Kaye is once again hosting the 100+ Reading Challenge next year (click the link to sign up).  I don’t think I’m going to meet this year’s challenge goals (137 books), but I think I will have made a valiant effort! I will surpass 100 books, at any rate. My exact goal for next year will be determined on December 31st, as my goal each year is to read at least one more book than the year before.  I’ll keep track of my list here!

Update: My goal for 2009 is 108 books!
