  1. You're making great progress toward your goal of reading 100 books a year! Good luck! (I read more than a 100 a year so it wouldn't be fair for me to engage in this challenge.) I wish the best to all who try!

  2. This is nice. I joined this one as well - I've also started tracking in Goodreads to make sure I don't miss something.

  3. Go Christine! I'm sure you can do it ;) Also, your daughters are getting older, so you should have more time to yourself :)

  4. Brandy...
    Thanks! Maybe this year, I'm only destined to reach the 90s, but you never know, right? Thanks for the good luck wishes. I could use them! :)

    Do you keep a record anywhere of the books you read every year?

    Gina... Good luck to you with this challenge, too!

    nath... thanks! I hope this is the 100+ year!
    Yes, it's true. The girls are getting older and spend less and less time with us now. :( Yet I always seem to fill that extra time with something else besides reading.

    How many books did you read in 2010? I'm still working on my wrap up post. :/

  5. I keep a word document with the Year, Month, title and author and whether it's a reread. I also include which genre it is (ex. YA, Humor, Bio, Fiction, etc.). Last year I read 164 books. But, that's low compared to Dru! *g*

    One down.... 99 to go! ;)

  7. Congrats on the first book! I managed 100 books last year, but that's because I read so much manga :)
