Yay Kat! I was a sucker who did all the years. What was I thinking? ;) I have 41 of the 66 finished, but still. Glutton for punishment, I tell ya. ;)
Hooray ~♥ Kat ♥~ !LOL, I'm only at 30/66.
Sandra, I'm trying to be good and read older ones, but of course I have 2010 & 2011 finished. Probably twice over. ;)
Thanks everyone I was really torn about contiuing but I seem to be reading more new books then old ones so I thought I'd stop while I was feeling good about It...lol :)

Congrats to everyone who has finished!
Thanks, Laura & Kerstin!WTG, Kat!
I'm with you. I finished 2011-2009. That's enough for me. Esp since most of mine are new(er) too.
Hey Steph, qeustion. If this one goes Jan to Dec, can you use the books you have read in that time frame even if you start later in the year? Like if I start now do my books have to start now too? Or if I read them since Jan, can I include them if I am just finding the challenge?
I'm chiming it. Because I told you I was watching you, missy. Yes, you can backdate to January. Knock yourself out. ;)
Oh cool! That will make it 'challenge'=fun and not 'CHALLENGE'=kick my butt. Thanks!psst...hey guys. Laura Lulu is staring at me. And not blinking. At all. It's creeping me out a little....

Lol. It's a Care Bear Stare. Really. No, seriously. Rainbows and glittery unicorns & shit. Care Bears don't blink. But it's just because they love you so much. ;)
LOLOLOL! You're killing me! Did rainbows just arc out of your tummy? :P
Wow....that came together fast. That is totally wicked! :D
LMAO LLL!! & Great list!
ROFHWWILMAO!!!!!!!rolling on the floor hyperventilating and weeping while I laugh my @$$ off
Oh GAWD, I think I'm gonna die! My kids are all asking if I am OK. he-he-ho-ho-ha-ha-HA!
That was awesome! Yeah, totally felt the rainbow love all the way over here. ;D
It's the nice, smiling ones that always get you! Are you like a 'Rainbow Ninja'? ;P
LMAO! You're killin' me! I'm gonna have nightmares about unicorn ninjas now, crap!
Love the star knives. Wouldn't be a ninja without them. ROFLMAO
There was a game I played on the Xbox that had unicorns that pooped rainbow piles (you had to collect one at some point for a quest). They were mean fighters too, so I could almost see them being ninjas.They even made a avatar award with a shirt with it on it. You can see it here

Late again...and everyone's moved on to rainbows! LOL!
I did the full one too, but just have a couple more books from the early years, (2001, 2002, 2003 & 2005 left....) but trying to find new things to read for them. THAT'S the hard part...so probably there will be a few more re-reads.
Hi Steph! I've updated my list. I know on the list of participants in the second post it still has my list as pending but you can find it here:http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/4...
#91!
And nearly half way done too! :D
Thanks for pointing that out, Amanda. Sorry for the oversight. I've added the link to your list. :)

Looks like I'll need to replace a couple in 2009 and maybe 1 in 2011. Forgot about only 1 Non Pnr/UF per year.It's too late.....I'm going to bed!
WTG, Cindy! Sleep well :)
Yay, Cindy!!
Got it finished.....had to take out a couple of books that were actually read last year. Gonna check out my TBR before I decide whether or not to include some of the older years. I probably have books to fit, just not sure if I'm actually interested in reading them at this point!
okay, I am totally giving up on my 2001 book since I didn't like it and can't finish...Trying to find a new 2001 book. Maybe some Dresden Files? Any suggestions? I've already read Bitten.
Edited to add:
I think I'm going to put book 2 of the Dresden Files tehre. I 'll have to read book 1 first, of course. :)
LOL! I'm kind of supposed to read it soon...if you do take the plunge, let me know what you think!
Flib, which book didn't make the cut?
FYI - Dresden Files is a great series, but the first 2 books are just so-so. If you like audio, I hear the audio versions are awesome and read by Spike from Buffy/Angel.
