UPDATE DECEMBER 31, 2008 – CHALLENGE COMPLETED!!
Yes!!! I did it…I read 101 books in 2008, surpassing the magic number of 100 by ONE BOOK. This was a goal last year and I fell short by 5 books, but I was not to be denied this year. YAY! To see my list with links to reviews and ratings, visit this post.
**********************************
Okay, yes, I know I just wrote a post saying I was overwhelmed and would be eliminating some of my reading challenges. But this one isn’t really a new challenge – I had a goal in 2007 to read 100 books and missed it. I said to my bookie friends (you all remember this, right?) that I would be shooting to read 100 books in 2008. So this just makes it formal. The challenge is hosted by J.Kaye at this site. And there is a Yahoo group too (but I won’t be joining that because I truly am trying to cut down on all the groups I’m in – really!).
I’m keeping track of the books I read in this post.
= Excellent
= Good/Very Good
= Okay read
= Not recommended
= Ugh! Don't waste your time.
Can you hear me laughing all the way from Florida?
LOL!
No laughing allowed, Jill
You’ll really laugh when you know I am toying with the suspense-thriller challenge because I have about 30 of these types of books on my TBR mountain and it seems like a good way to read them. So far, I’m resisting…but for how long can I hold out?!?!? Oh, I am such a challenge addict…it is hopeless.
I don’t how all of you do it! Good luck with the challenge (and who cares if you sign up for too many, right?? right??). Have fun!
Well, I’m not so sure I’m being successful, Trish
But, I *am* having fun!
Congratulations! And Happy New Year!!
Lezlie
Congratulations on reaching your goal this year and good luck in the next one.
Congratulations Wendy! I never doubted.
Woo-hoo!
I finished at 101, too. #101 was a quickie, though.
Happy New Year!
Congrats on finishing! Happy New Year!
Congratulations and Happy New Year! I read 80ish books last year, but I’m not woman enough to take on the 100+ challenge yet. I applaud you.
Congratulations on finishing the challenge! Happy New Year!
Congrats on finishing….you are my challenge hero!! Happy New Year, Wendy!
Congrat! What a great accomplishment!
Thank you Lezlie, WendyCat, Terri (glad you had such faith!), Softdrink (and congrats to you as well!), Kailana, LH (*laughs* at your comment of not being woman enough!), Alyce, Stephanie, and Teddy…and I wish you ALL the best in 2009. Having such wonderful reader friends to cheer me on made this challenge easier
