Countdown Challenge

Michelle from 1MoreChapter is hosting this fantastic sounding challenge, which (thankfully) is retroactive. I say 'thankfully' because it requires that I read 45 books - 9 from 2009, 8 from 2008 and so on. It started on 8/8/2008 and runs until 9/9/2009. Neat, eh?

Have a look at the rules here.
