The Challenge Factory discussion

So back when I was a little nerd, I couldn't wait for school to get out so I could run to the library and sign up for the summer reading program. Now that I'm too old to actually sign up for the program through my library, I figured maybe I could make a challenge out of it.

The challenge is simple...post how many books you pledge to read this summer (6/1/14 - 9/2/14) and then come back and keep us updated on your progress. Easy Peasy.

Happy Reading!

I'm in, since my local library already does a summer reading program, complete with prizes! I'm pledging to read at least 100 books for this, but that's conservative, as I try to finish a book a day, not counting what I might read to my son. As of right now, I've exceeded my challenge at 123/100 read, but since the timeframe isn't over, I'm going to keep adding in. I've got one book that I'm in the middle of currently.
