I have really enjoyed the 100+ Reading Challenge that Amy at My Overstuffed Bookshelf hosted for 2011. In fact, 2011 was the first time I participated in ANY reading challenges and they are so fun. I reached my goal of 100 books with The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson back in September 2011. I decided to push forward (what book blogger could not) and keep reading of course. By the time of this posting, I have reached 120 books for 2011. I am not sure if I can read thirty more by 31 December 2011, but I do know I can push myself and make it to at least 150 for 2012.
Here are the rules:
