2008: 100 Book Challenge

  • The goal of this challenge is to read 100 books in one year. You must have read the book all the way to the end for it to count.
  • All books count — novels/novellas, anthologies/collections, etc. It’s up to you if you want to count repetitions but I opted not to. ;)
  • Keep your list organized month-by-month. You can view an example of what I mean here.
  • Network with other challengers by exchanging links. This can keep you motivated, help you gain some traffic and even make new friends.

My fellow challengers: Sarah, Crinthia, happysarah, Denise, Jess
