100 Books in 2012 Challenge

If you're wondering why this entry is post dated it is because I have no idea how to make a sticky post. I have been attempting this challenge for the last few years. I really don't think I'll manage to reach 100 but I'm going to try beat last years total of 58. :P Reached on 26/09/12! :D


Rules and Guidelines:
1. Read 100 books or more in 2012.
2. Keep track of how many I read.
3. First time reads only.

  1. Ellie, I applaud your goal and progress. One little note, though, Did you mean to date the post 2012? From what you wrote I assume you meant December 31, 2011.

    Good luck on the goal!

  2. Yep, I meant to date it 2012. I keep this entry post-dated so I can update it easier. It will always be the first post on the blog. If I didn't, the post would become hard to find as my blog fills up.
