Hello there!
Since College happened, all we’ve done is whine about it in real life, and once the people who have to put up with it in real life got sick of it, we took it all here to the blog (because our readers are much nicer people). But then, you probably know all about that. For sticking with us through that, you deserve better. And I’m not certain how many will class this under ‘better’, but we’ve decided to try to reduce our whining quotient by doing something productive (sort of). We’re going to try reading 100 books in 2011. It works out to about 2 books per week. Its a little ambitious, what with college and all, but we’ll try our best.
There now exist 3 pages, one for each of us, that will serve as records of the books we have read. They’re right there at the top of the page. Links below anyway;
Since there wasn’t an official page or anything for this, we’ve decided to impose our own rules for this challenge;
- No re-reading of books that you have read in the last 2 years.
- If you are re-reading a book, you must read the whole book and not just the bits you like. ;)
- Textbooks count, if you read the whole thing.
If you’d like to join (We’d love for you to!), start a record type thing on your blog, Facebook page, whatever and leave us a link in the comments.
This is going to be fun!
*Excited*
People doing the challenge right now(Other than us, obviously):

[...] It’ll be fun to see how my answers change at the end of the HBC. [...]
I honestly don’t mind doing this. Though I will probably have to add the books I’ve read since March 24th (board exams got over!). Or to round it off, April.
But I’m joining in! :D
That’s awesome! Welcome. :)
Leave us a link to where you’re keeping a record and we’ll add you to the list.
[...] time I pause to think of WP, I hear the guilt bells ringing you didn’t finish the 100-book challenge. Well, the official count will be up soon. But needless to say, I just managed over 50, I [...]
