I read 5 more books then the goal of the challenge, and most of the books were awesome! I am definitely doing this challenge next year, but I think my goal shall be 20.

I am very happy with my performance overall. I think for 2011 I am going to try to read 120 books... I will be pretty surprised if I reach this goal, but the whole point is for it to be a challenge! How did your reading challenges go for 2010?
