J. Kaye is once again hosting the 100+ Reading Challenge. As she says, “the goal is to read 100 or more books. Anyone can join. You don’t need a blog to participate.”
You can find the full details of the 2010 100+ Reading Challenge here.
I’ll update this post as I read and review books in 2010. Note that you don’t have to review a book for it to count toward the challenge (that’s a different challenge!). As I did in 2009, I plan to review each book that I read.

Do you keep a list of the books you read throughout the year? Will you be joining the 100+ Reading Challenge?













I joined this one too. Before I started blogging, I had no clue how many books I read in a year, so I didn’t sign up in 2009. Turns out, this year it was 113. I doubt I will keep a list, though. I’ll probably just tag it to keep track.
Good luck, Dawn!
Welcome to the 100+ Reading Challenge. This is going to be a fun reading year.
Happy New Year!!
I’ve joined the 100+ Reading Challenge as well as (mumble) others. =)
I think I’m up to 14 now and another starts next month.
i didn’t join last year because I didn’t want the pressure, but I ended up reading 100 books anyway!
