    Yes! Love this reading challenge too. I didn’t make my personal goal in 2009, but I read over a 100. :) I’ll try again in 2010.

      J. Kaye – I think I may have to raise my personal goal for 2010 a bit, because I just finished my 150th book for 2009, and there’s still a few days left in the year! On the other hand, who knows if I’ll have as much time as this year….
