100+ Reading Challenge

J. Kaye is hosting the 100+ Reading Challenge, which lasts all of 2008. I truly hadn’t really planned on trying to reach 100 this year, as I accomplished that feat last year. But…I’ve already read 15 29 books so far this year, so I might as well try it again. If I fail, I’ll know at least I did it in 2007.
