Last year was the first year of the 100+ Reading Challenge hosted by My Overstuffed Bookshelf.  Since so many blogs are doing that challenge this year, the challenge has been adjusted this year to 150 books.

So….this year is a challenge for everyone to read more!

The goal is to reach 150+ books for this challenge?  Now don’t get discouraged!  150 books or more sounds like a lot.  When you read the rules below though, you will find that it is quite easy to reach 150 books.

Don’t be shy! Come sign up and spread the word!  The challenge officially started on January 1rst, 2012 but you can start anytime!
