2008 Book Diary / Challenge

stefaniejsmith@gmail.com — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 06:01:30 GMT

Just to keep track of books I've read. I mean, I'm keeping track of TV, I don't want to seem like a couch potato. I am going to shoot for 50. I'm not sure if this is realistic or not. The books with the pictures are the ones I have read all the way through completely. Because some for school time constraints require skimming. Anyway:

This is the last post of the day, promise. (Sorry F-lists)

2008 TV, Can I beat 500?

Taken from rosengirl, who snagged from fairy_bliss :)

A kind of silly challenge to watch 500 episodes of TV-shows in one year. The only rule is that if you watch a certain episode more than once in a year you can only list it again if you haven't already listed it for that month.

This is me, gracing this journal, which I have not done in the year that I have had it. Tragic. Journal, you have been deflowered.

This is updated somewhat regularly now, serving as a sort of "brain dumpster" for me, as someone else so aptly described their journal (Sorry, I forget who).
