Thanks to whomever started this silly challenge in the first place and to everyone on MR that makes reading whatever anyone wants to read fun.

Congrats! The Terminator was the person who tried to get us all organized, then the "core group" (including me) spend some time debating how we should do it, but finally in January we settled into it. Some people stayed with the social group here, some of us moved it to our Goodreads Group, others said "I just wanna read, y'all can work it out among yourselves". So, we all ended up doing it in whatever way felt most comfortable to each of us.
My Goodreads link should be in my sig somewhere. I think I'm on book #72, which is surprising because I'm extremely inconsistent. I'd read about a book a day for a few weeks, then get sidetracked by other things and not read more than one over the following two months. I'm still not quite back on track for 100, but I'm just thrilled that I've read that many books this year.
Are you thinking about doing a challenge again next year? (Hard to believe just how close that is!) I, and a few others I think, have decided to do a different challenge for 2012. Since I found myself passing over longer books this year (500+ pages) I've decided that I'm going to focus on total page count next year instead of total books. I think I'll take this year's page count and add 10% for next year's goal.
