My goal is to read 100 books this year (in 2010 I read 101) and to help keep me motivated I am joining the 100 Books in a Year Reading Challenge hosted by Book Chick City.
- Timeline: 01 Jan 2011 – 31 Dec 2011
- Rules – Read 100 or more books in 2011
- All books can crossover into other challenges you have on the go.
- Only print books and ebooks count (no audiobooks).
- You can join anytime between now and the later part of next year.
- You can also follow each other’s progress and chat about the VC books you read on twitter too – just use #100BooksInAYear 🙂
I will keep track of my books read here.
Last but not least I am signing up for the WordPress PostADay challenge. The goal is to post something everyday! I know this will be challenging, but I am going to try to keep up. Hopefully I will have lots of reviews to post to go with my reading challenges.
Happy New Year!
I like the challenges you’re joining this year. I’m may want to sign up for a few much later. I wish you the best of 2011.
