75 Book Challenge

This page contains a list of the books I read in 2010.

My ongoing reading list is available here.

I’ve never kept a record of how many books I do read every year. My time management plan already calls for at least two hours of reading on the weekdays and four hours on the weekends, so I thought a record of my progress would help hold me accountable.

75 Book Challenge guidelines for 2010:

  • All genres count.
  • Anthologies and/or novellas are considered books.
  • Re-reading my favorites is allowed but I’ll make a note that it’s the Nth time I’ve read it.
  • Books that I don’t 100% finish, e.g. Broken, will not be included; however, I will note them.

Only books read after January 28th could be linked to a Note to Self entry on my blog.
