50 Book Challenge: 2012

[Rosebud]

Welcome to the 50 Book Challenge!

This group is for all readers who would like to record the books they've finished in 2012. Even if you don't think you'll make it to 50 books, you're welcome to join. Some of us read 25 books, some of us read 100. This is a place for us to cheer each other on throughout the year.

Our thread from the previous year: 50 Book Challenge 2011
