2010 100+ Reading Challenge

I'm so excited! This is the first year that I will be participating in any year-long reading challenges, and it was so incredibly difficult to narrow down my list to a number of challenges that I feel is manageable. One challenge that I have wanted to join since I heard about it mid-2009 is the 100+ Reading Challenge, hosted by J.Kaye's Book Blog! So, the first challenge that I am joining for 2010 is the 100+ Reading Challenge!

The rules:

1. The goal is to read 100 or more books. Anyone can join. You don't need a blog to participate.

--Non-Bloggers: Post your list of books in the comment section of the wrap-up post. To learn how to sign up without having a blog, click here.

2. Audio, Re-reads, eBooks, YA, Manga, Graphic Novels, Library books, Novellas, Young Reader, Nonfiction – as long as the book has an ISBN or equivalent or can be purchased as such, the book counts.

What doesn't count: Individual short stories or individual books in the Bible.

3. No need to list your books in advance. You may select books as you go. Even if you list them now, you can change the list if needed.

4. Crossovers from other reading challenges count.

5. Challenge begins January 1st thru December, 2010. Books started before the 1st do not count.

6. When you sign up under Mr. Linky, put the direct link to your post where your books will be listed. Include the URL to this post so that other viewers can find this fun challenge. If you’d prefer to put your list in the sidebar of your blog, please leave your viewers the link to the sign up page. Again, so viewers can join the challenge too.
 
I haven't counted the number of books that I've read in the past year, but my blogging has definitely picked up in the last 6 months. I'm excited to see if I can reach my first- year goal of reading 100 books, and will list them here as I complete them.
