75 Books/09

Because 50 books is no longer a challenge for the likes of me, I’m going to up my goal for 2009 to *at least 75 books*. This should prove to be a worthy and ambitious challenge, one that I am greatly looking forward to completing.

Plus, I really need to diminish my TBR list. Have you seen that thing?
