Well I've made my list for this year...and hope to do so again for 2009

Jess: I know what you mean. I used to read so much. As a kid I even read 10 books each week. it was the maximum I could rent at the library. But all of the sudden I just stopped reading, because I had so little time. And then a half year ago I saw this challenge and it got me to reading again. I know make time for it and I love it again. it also cost me a lot of money lol, but it's great to finally read again.

I'm not going to read 50 books or even come close to 50,000 pages.
However, I will start a 25,000 page challenge for myself. I haven't been reading like I should and I want to start back again.

SO Jan. 1, 2009 my journey will begin. I'm so excited.

xlennie

I think I'll try 30 books for next year.

This ended up being all I got to this year. I just got too bogged down with school, but I'm looking forward to this year, I may go on ahead and count the last two weeks of December and end a little early next year. I want to start reading some fun new stuff but I don't want to count it on my old list because I know I won't make it.

I can't wait to do this in '09! I've always wanted to, however, I always forget and start late. Resulting in me forgetting the books I had read.
