I can't believe that I actually have decided to join this challenge, but hey, what have I got to lose? I don't think the challenge police are going to come and lock me up if I don't complete it. J. Kaye's Book Blog is hosting this challenge and I thought it would be a great way to keep a running tally of the books that I read during the year.
This is a pretty laid back challenge as you can include just about any book that you read from January 1 to December 31, 2010. You can check out all of the rules yourself and sign up for the challenge here if you think this interests you.
I will be sure to update this post as I make progress on this challenge.

I joined too for the same reasons. Last year was my first year and I honestly didn't know how many I read in a year's time. But now I do. I'm on track to complete 110 by the end of the year. So, you can do it. I'm sure of it. Good luck.
You can do it!!

Lol! I hope there are not going to be any 'challenge police' locking anyone up! It is a laid back challenge and this year it motivated me to actually read 100 books which happened for the first time in my life ever. I am def. signing up for 2010.
Glad you're joining it too!
Good luck!
Yikes, that is a lot of books! To anyone that can accomplish this task, kudos to them!
You go girl! I tried the 2009 challenge and failed miserably! I made it almost half-way! I don't think I'll try again - I fail at too many things as there is! Good luck!
I'd be in big trouble if the challenge police came looking for those not finishing challenges. lol. Good luck Jo-Jo. I joined this one too.
Welcome to the 100+ Reading Challenge. I am so glad you have decided to join us in the fun. 2010 is going to be a great year in reading. I can just feel it!
Good luck on this one. If I get my life in order, I say I must do this one next year. My hat is off to you.
I am doing this one again. There is absolutely nothing to lose. If you don't make the 100 then at least you'll have a nice list of books read.
