Stacy's 75 books in 2011 challenge list

[Stacy]

Ok, here's the start of it (January 2011 - December 2011). Hopefully I can finish it this time!

[Stacy]

1. Bright Lights, Big Ass: A Self-Indulgent, Surly, Ex-Sorority Girl's Guide to Why it Often Sucks in the City, or Who are These Idiots and Why Do They All Live Next Door to Me?

[Stacy]

LMAO, ok, so I just had a thought about adding another personal challenge of reading X amount of pages in 2011......but maybe not. I think I've got enough going on now as it is....

[Suzanne]

Did you see there's a 2011 Reading Challenge off to the right side here on this website? You can enter how many books you want to read for your goal and it keeps track based on when you mark a book as read.

I saw that! As soon as you click it, it automatically counts your books from the year:)

[Stacy]

Is that on the home page? I'm not seeing it here...

[Stacy]

Never mind, I found it! Too cool!
Thanks Suzanne!!!

[Tara]

I found it the other day. I am using that instead of the book challenge.

[Stacy]

I think it's an awesome feature. Now when I forget to include a book, like I did last year or the year before (remember Tara, you told me I forgot to put one in there), I won't have to worry about keeping track. :)

Ditto on that book - I really liked it. (It's much better than her other book, FYI). Keep some tissues handy, though!

[Kourtney]

REALLY!?!?!? Oh no! I brought it to work today...I don't want to cry at work!

[Cathy]

Wow, Stacy!! 8 books already?!?! Nice job - keep this up and you'll definitely reach your goal...

Sounds like this TTYL series must be really good if you keep going to the next one after another...looks like I'll have to add some more books to my TBR pile:)

LOL, I just called you a copycat on the news feed. :P

I didn't cry until the end so you're good for a while.

Thanks Cathy! We'll see, I know I'll burn out at some point. (I know, slap my hands for saying that!)
The TTYL series was really cute. It's YA and it's written completely in IMs so it's really quick.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA I was wondering why you called me a copycat!!! I sat there thinking "well duh...I told her I was going to copy her!"

[Alex]

Stacy, how was Dean Koontz's new book? I keep looking at it, and convincing myself not to buy it yet! Lol.

It was great! I listened to the audio version, first time I've done that with a brand new DK book. But yeah, it was very good, very creepy. ;)
