I wont be completing the challenge with 3 books to go in one day **sighs** I still want to finish it though!

This looks like a fun challenge! I managed my 100 books in 2011 with a couple of extras thrown in for luck, and since I can't seem to find anywhere to sign up for a similar challenge for 2012 yet I'll toss my hat in for this one. Should be fun finding books for each year from 1976 on.

Edit: I went back and looked at my books read over the last year. So close! It seems that I missed 5 years out of 35. And of those 5 years, all but 1 were years in which I hadn't learned to read yet. Now tat I realize that I read such a wide range if publishing dates already, this challenge seems a lot easier!

If you're in your 20's then you get a year to complete the challenge.

I have a question...If I finish the challenge before the year is up do I have to wait until 2013 to do the last book? Or can I just stop in 2012?

I'm supposed to have up to 1.5 years since I'm in my 30's (see post 765), but IF I get done sooner, I didn't want to have to wait until the next year just to have a book from that year.

THANKS!

If you finish the challenge in 2012 you don't have to read a 2013 book.
