WTG! So many fun challenges in 2010 - including this one. :)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Hottto Sandra! Super reader of the year!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

hahaha just off to tot up the numbers for the big book slot. LOL

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I've no doubt you'll blow us all away with your total read. :)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

I'm afraid I'll feel like a TOTAL slacker! My hero...Sandra, the Just Mad Goddess!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Now, now, don't go overboard!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

OK...but what can you expect after XX number of glasses of wine? LOL!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

ROFLMAO!!!!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! Sensei, are you tipsy? :)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

I should be...but no...not that much really! LOL! Spouse had a late, too-much-to-drink-night yesterday, and the kids just don't drink yet (would kill them if they were!) and it's no fun over-drinking alone. Sigh....margarita (or something date) for next (or almost) New Year's!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Good, so no new years hangover. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Hooray, LLL!!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Challenge QUEEN!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

My brain can't add right now, so I'll get your totals in a little bit later!!!

Well...that's 290 books over 6 months, but since I only read 170 books for the entire year, I guess I also likes me some cross challenging. ;)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

That's some major crossin'! :)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

LOL! I'd say you like it quite a bit!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Wow!!

[Laura Lulu]

That's my fave part of challenges--the challenge of picking my meager 10-12 books to read each month, and making them fit in the 4-7 monthlies I do each month.

I will not do that many challenges this year. Repeat: I will not do that many challenges this year. But it's so hard for me to see a new challenge and not feel the pull to make it work for me. :)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

LOL! I remember saying something like that to myself....

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Thanks and Congrats to everyone who joined us on this one! Good luck to those that join us on "Challenge Addicts 'R Us!"
