I meant to post this yesterday, but I didn’t finish updating the list soon enough. I’m doing well on some challenges and have even completed a couple. I’m also right on track to read 100 books in 2010.
Unfortunately, there are several challenges I am failing miserably on. It is more difficult than I thought to come up with titles that have colors in them! If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very thankful!
