Challenge yourself to read a certain number of books - you pick the #.
It can be anywhere from actually completing 1 grown up book to those who want to read 100+ books.
Let us know what your goal is, how many you have read so far, and if you want, include a list.
Let me know if you have any questions.
My goal for this coming year is 100. In 2009 (so far, there is still a few days left) I read somewhere between 60 and 80. I'm not sure of the exact count. I am trying to make it higher for next year!!

#1 - January 7; #2 - January 9; #3 - January 17; #4 - January 29; #5 - February 2; #6 - February 8; #7 - February 11; #8 - March 10; #9 - March 12; #10 - March 17; #11 - March 25; #12 - March 27; #13 - March 30; #14 - April 7; #15 - April 9; #16 - April 12; #17 - April 18; #18 - April 19; #19 - April 30
Boy I'm moving along pretty slow this year...maybe I should drop my goal to 50!
#20 - May 2; #21 - May 4; #22 - May 8; #23 - May 9; #24 - May 30
That's just shameful that it took me that long to read that book! Would be helpful if the kids would stay nice and healthy for a while!
#25 - June 13; #26 - June 18; #27 - June 19; #28 - June 21 - #29 - June 25; #30 - July 4; #31 - July 7; #32 - July 18; #33 - July 22; #34 - July 25; #35 - July 28; #36 - August 3; #37 - August 10; #38 - August 31; #39 - September 3;
sigh. I lost count. I've read at least 7 in the last few weeks...but didn't mark them down and some of them I've read before. We'll start fresh for the new year!
