It's a new year already! 2010 flew by pretty quickly, and I managed to read 109 books. That's one more than what I read in 2009, so I'm happy.
This whole 100 books per year thing is working well for me, so I'm going to set myself thesame challenge this year and just see how it goes. Anyone interested in joining me?
Actually, now that I think about it, I think I'm going to do something different this year. I'm going to do a special giveaway for those who participate. At the beginning of each month, I'll post a place where you can check in withyour progress. You will need to provide some kind of proof that you've read the books, of course. :) Just saying you read them is great, but won't qualify you for the giveaway. So, you'll need to provide a link to some kind of basic review--on your blog, Goodreads, website, etc. At the end of each month, I'll do a random drawing to select a winner.
ETA: You don't have to promise to read 100 books this year to participate. You just have to read. :) You also don't have to do an extensive review. A paragraph of what you liked or didn't like is plenty. I just want to keep people from saying they've read a book when they haven't. :) So, for that matter, you can put that paragraph in the comments section.
For this month, I think I'll give away an ARC of Girl, Stolen by April Henry. Put your links in the comments section of this post, then come back on Jan 31st to see if you've won!

I read an ARC of Choker. It kept me guessing.
Haven't a clue how many books I'll read this year. Nowhere close to 100. I think I read abour 40 in 2010. Will have edits soon which will take a lot of time.
Anyway, good luck to all. Happy New Year.
I'm halfway through Choker right now. I have two theories, and I can't decide which I would prefer. :) I guess I'll find out soon enough (and maybe I'll be surprised!). :)
I'm in! I love to read but life takes over and then I'm exhausted. Having a little challenge may help me continue. I am registered on Good Reads and will post the links from there. I am reading too many books right now and will concentrating on one so I can move my list along.
I loo forward to sharing my list with you in 2011.
I love to read, but also want time to write. So I don't think I can read 100 with working. But I'm going to keep track and see how many I read. I already read one.
I don't know if I can read 100, but I'm sure going to try. Count me in for the challenge!
LOL! I thought my 2011 reading list with 64 books was challenging. I'm impressed. :)
I'm terrible about posting reviews, (doing good to record what I read in my reading log) so I won't join officially but will plan to circle back for great book suggestions.
You don't have to do a complete review. Just a paragraph of what you liked or didn't like is plenty.
Basically, I want to keep people from saying they've read books when they haven't. That's all. :) So don't do an extensive, full-blown review if you don't want to.
I don't think I'll make 100, but I'll keep reading! Here's my review of Holes. Loved it. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/136165673
I started off the year with a goal of reading 25 books. I've already read 5 (almost 6) books, so I think I need to up the ante. 100 may be a bit much, but let's see how I do!
I'm finally joining in for reals! So far I've read 24 books. I think I can still make 100 as long as I stick to books in English (my native language). I love reading in Spanish and German, but they definitely take me longer. I'll post my reviews-to-date in snippet-format on my blog soon.
