Some facts about 2008:

• I read 94 books last year, which is pretty good because I traveled with girlfriends for 3 weeks in May and managed only 2 books that whole time.
• I started blogging in September and wrote 125 posts before the end of the year.
• I entered and finished 2 challenges.
• I am working on 5 challenges that started in 2008,
• I am starting 16 challenges for 2009 (lots of overlap and one doesn't involve reading, so not as bad as it seems).
• I stretched my reading world by joining the Graphic Novels challenge (a totally new genre for me).
• I made many wonderful friends on Twitter and in the book blogging world.

Happy New Year to all my friends, Wishing you all a very bookish 2009.
