Subject: The Fifty Book Challenge 2007 Mon Jun 11, 2007 9:27 pm

I know for some folk this won't be much of a challenge..and I'm starting it a little late..but the idea is to read fifty books in 2007 and keep track of them in here..

anybody up for it?

hmm... i havent read a whole lot lately. i feel kinda bad about it. but i'm a really fast reader, and i think i could manage 50 this year. i'd just have trouble remembering to do so.

well my dad's on early shift so he's home at 4 which i can use to my advantage Razz

my goal of the summer was to read a whole lot more. i found two suggestion lists from higher english for personal studies so i might go through those and look.

and im moving this to books missy!

shoot, I too much of a nerd to put the joystick or DS down long enough to read 50 books in a year.
If I'm lucky I'll probably read about 10 though I am reading one right now about Signature Killers.
