Hi Donna, there was a glitch somewhere probably and you posted the same topic 4 times, so I hope you don't mind that I deleted 3 and moved this topic to this folder :)
Did you make up the rules for this challenge yourself? 65 books in a year - that's a pretty good goal :)
I myself am participating in about 5 challenges throughout the year and an additional odd one here and there. I've set it all out in my blog - http://tiensblurbs.spaces.live.com/ if you're interested in checking out other challenges.

I did make that challenge up myself I thought "why not?" but now I am a little worried because I just realized that it's like a book and a half a week! I dunno if I can do that but I will try my best!
