Into the home stretch now --- see: Post #30 and have left: 2009 (3 books), 2008 (3 books) and 2006 (1 book). I'm also doing the every-year challenge: Post #176 --- I'm doing 1950 - 2013 and all I have left are: 1987, 1983, 1979, 1969, 1964 and 1952.
Will I finish both challenges this month? Or will I be distracted by the shiny new 2013 books? Time will tell!
**hee hee** Great, Deedee! Mini congrats to you.
I updated Post #5 2010, 2011 and 2012 are now finished. Well they've been finished for awhile now. I'm just getting to updating them!

I've had a cold for the last seven days and haven't felt like reading. I'm worried I won't get the last two books done. **sigh**

We know you can finish those last two books! =)
Aww... thank you, Kate S! Sweet of you. Yes, I'm going to be seriously disappointed if I don't make it. I have the two books all picked out and luckily have alternates, because someone checked out one from the library before I could get to it.This is one of my favorite challenges.
Sounds like you are a woman with a plan. Best of luck to you!
Here's a final update for me: Post #5 I was too distracted by shiny new books this year and read a lot of new stuff. Oh well!
2003 - missing 2
2004 - missing 1
2007 - missing 4
