Very cool - I like your combination of themes, Becky! Glad you'll be joining this one again in 2009!
Thanks for posting about this. I will be joining the challenge. Here are my themes and books. Good luck with the challenge!
Great theme -- and I like your blog's new look.
I've never completed a reading challenge other than MR's 48 hour challenge. I have so enjoyed reading the results of your many efforts that I may try one next year.
I'm afraid, however, that this one has me stumped. There's so much to choose from? How do you decide what themes to choose?
I will see if I have time for this one next year as it sounds fun. I like your themes and have no doubt you will complete it.
I just got my theme together. I like your combination.
