(Damn Facebook.)

I finished 42 books last year in the 100+ books challenge group. 50 seems a rather more realistic number!

I hit 40, so I'm right there with you. :) I think one book a week is a great goal! :) (Although I don't think I would have even hit 40 if I'd been in school up through June.... my momentum up till that point is what carried me through the rest of the year.... but next year may be lighter? :)) Good luck us.

P.S. Good start! :) You're right on schedule. :)

Having school padded my number read, actually. Huh. I guess that's what happens when you're a lit major, haha.

Good luck us indeed!
