I found a cool site for readers: <a href="http://j-kaye-book-blog.blogspot.com/">http://j-kaye-book-blog.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />I want to try to read 100 books in 2009 ! There's also a challenge for reading 50 Library books. I am going to sign up for both, I think. Once I sign up I'll make a new post here and use that to list the books as I read them so I don't lose track. I just finished a book today (the Friday Night Knitting Club), and went to the library this afternoon. It'll be tough to wait to Jan 1st to start reading, but I'll manage. <br /><br />I've never tracked or counted my books, so I think this will be fun!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3208293458848851301-4956702804462872969?l=bookchallenges2009karla.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11202454179231949623noreply@blogger.com6
