OK, so as soon as I finish one Challenge, I began my own Challenge. I am hoping to read 210 Books in 2010…
I wasn’t sure how many books I will actually be able to get through this year, but my goal is pretty steep. I figured why not make it a challenge that is actually challenging?
So there it is- wish me luck!
I hope to get most of the books that I read using my Bookswim membership, and the rest either from my library or my stash.
I will keep you updated as I do it, and review my books on MelephantReads as well as Goodreads, if your interested.
