Well I've done it - I hit 100 yesterday. And by some strange twist of fate, #100 was the latest by my favourite author!! First challenge ever attempted, so I feel pretty good about finishing it. But just for fun, I'll keep adding to it and see where I finish up....

I'm going to join this one too. I didn't make 100 in 2008, but I'm hoping to in 2009!
ReplyDeleteGee, I am so taking my time to welcome you to this challenge. You've already joined the Yahoo Groups...lol! I am soooo behind!
ReplyDeleteMom - I don't know how you read so much! I think I would be at 5 by the end of the year. Although, I read through Inside-Out Girl in about a week! It was so good!
ReplyDeleteI have a serious problem, I am a member of"Biblioholics Anonymous". We cannnot really meet because if someone talks it annoys us and we read so fast that if some one wants to sit and talk on and on about the book, it is interesting, but, I am just waiting to start the book on my bedside table. Just joshing, but, I read 100 plus in 2008, the library computer shows 89 and I use another library also to add to it. I do not have enough money to buy books so I depend on libraries. Unfortunately, the libraries near to me are not big enough to buy books fast enough to keep me in books (the new ones). However, God Bless our libraries, I have no idea what I would do without them. My ex husband and my present husband both were and are heavy readers also, that helps too. lupinea@aol.com
ReplyDeleteAs one bookworm to another, I think this challenge will be fun.
ReplyDeleteFirst let me run over and find
out the details.
Congratulations - quite an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteHey, we need to get some Demo Tapes on that list of yours!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on hitting 100 read. I'll be lucky to hit 100 for the year, and I'm not terribly happy about that. I miss reading more, but this author stuff takes up my reading time!
(btw, VERY sad article you sent the link to. That's why people encourage cyclists to NOT argue and stay cool. I'm too emotional and would probably argue, so no judgment from ME! Just sadness.)
Congratulations! I also am trying to complete this challenge. Unfortunately I statrted in July or August of thsi year so I'm no entirely optimistic about completing 100 books by teh end of 2009, but I will try!!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely fantastic! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I "finished" this challenge as well, although I'll just keep on reading like the good little book-a-holic I am :)
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed. You amaze me!!
ReplyDeleteI just finished today. Woo hoo! Congrats Luanne!
