Okay, so at the very beginning of this year I challenged myself (and my fellow nerdfighters!) to read 50 books for 2009. While this may seem like an easy task for a librarian, let me assure you that we do NOT have the luxury of reading all the time. Le sigh. With a little help from Shelfari, I've been keeping track of what I read (for the most part...), so let's see how I did. And remember I still 10 days to go!

So stay tuned :-) I just received a whole new box of ARCs to rifle thru and read, so I'll have plenty of reviews for the New Year & my next challenge.

Hi! I saw your thread at Nerdfighters and thought I would check out your blog. I'm reading 50 books for 2010 too (50 new books to be precise) and I too am posting updates on MY blog, so it was fun to see someone else's list :) Did you finish all of those books for 2009? Good luck!
Interesting and nice. Congratulations.

I did indeed complete my 2009 challenge...and then immediately forgot to start keeping track for 2010! Eeek. I'll have to see if I can figure out what I've read...and check out your blog.
