Great job. I’ve joined this challenge for next year!
Congrats!
Congrats on surpassing the 100+ goal, Carol!
I still have to post my wrap-up of this … do you know who’s hosting this in 2011? I liked tracking all the books I read (and getting Challenge credit for it!)
Congrats!!
Congratulations!
Impressive, Carol! I’m not sure I’ll ever read that many books in a year.
Sure you will. Just count all the boardbooks you’ll be reading.
Never read any of these except for The Night Before Christmas–in fact I’ve never heard of most of these. Sounds like an ambitious reading project!
