100+ Reading Challenge

1 January 2011 - 31 December 2011

Amy from My Overstuffed Bookshelf is hosting the 100+ Reading Challenge - can you read 100 (or more!) books this year?

The exceptions are easier to list - short stories/chapters in the Bible.  Otherwise, if it has an ISBN, it counts.

I'm more than sure I can achieve this challenge, though you never know what crops up in life...

However, I have two personal exceptions to add. 

1.  Since I'm also participating in the Support Your Local Library Challenge (with a personal goal of 100 books), I'm planning (and hopefully it'll work out that way!) to complete that challenge before I begin this one - thus, I'll have 100 books read which are not on this list (since most - though not all - books I read are from the library). 

2.  The second exception is picture books - I'm taking part in the Read to Me Picture Book Challenge with an unlimited number of - you guessed it - picture books.  So any pictures books read this year will also not appear on this list. 

At the end of the year (when I find out my total!), I'm going to add the totals from both of those list, and thus I'll able to find out how many books I've actually read in 2011.  Wish me luck!
