Last year I logged every book I read for the whole year. It had a nice ring to it, Books Read in 2010. Anyway, I read (or as Daniel says, inhaled) 64 books last year. Yes, they were all real, grown up books :) Nothing with pictures.
This year he challenged me to read 100 books. Shoot, full-time job, newborn, moving, all I could think was why the heck not. Finished book number 32 today. And that's not even counting all the board books!

The best thing about this has been finding new authors. I love love love love (have I mentioned how much I love) The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher. New book (Ghost Story) comes out next month and I can't wait.
The book I finished today, The Passage, was incredible. Truly left me wanting more. So I went online to discover...
It's the first in a triology! Next one doesn't come out until 2012 (boo) but I have something to look forward to. I just started Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. It's been grabbing my eyes for awhile, so I figured why not.
So, I'm sure you're all wondering, how on Earth do I find so much time to read? Well, I keep falling asleep sitting up, trying to squeeze one more chapter in. But that has more to do with being engrossed in the books than meeting the challenge. I also find I watch very little TV anymore (unless on for background while cleaning). Lunch breaks, weekends, I can find any excuse to read!
PS - sorry about the weird font alignement after the list of books. Don't know why it did that and can't figure out how to fix :)

I'm keeping track of my books this year. You are putting me to shame!! So far, I have 12. Might you consider writing a blurb about each book or series? I always want to try new things, but am too chicken to just go buy some random book off the shelf.
