Yay! Now I shall shoot for 100 books and 30,000 pages.

If anyone wants to read my reviews of the books, please visit my blog at http://anovelideabookblog.blogspot.com - roughly 1/3 of these books are library books, which I don't put into my LibraryThing and therefore cannot review on here. But since mid-May (and periodically before then) I have been reviewing pretty much every book I finish, and they are all on the blog.

Hi, Ankhet!
Congratulations on reaching your 100 book goal. :) That is truly phenomenal. I thought that the Undead and ... books looked interesting. My daughter is wanting me to read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I think that I will try to read more books that are funny next year. I am doing the 999 Challenge next year which will involve 81 books, but I am not sure that I can read that many.
