Mandy!'s 100+ Reading Challenge

[Mandy!]

Another year, another thread! Last year I managed 150 books, and so my challenge for this year is to read at least 100; perhaps bigger and more challenging in scope. I had a lot of difficulties last year, life-wise, so hopefully this year will be a breeze and maybe I can even double (!!!) my goal.
