I feel like maybe I won't make it to 100...but I will definitely make it over 50 easy. I just keep getting distracted by things like Doctor Who and Veronica Mars and beach trips and getting a job (eeek!).
Also, The Hunger Games was added to my list months ago (recommended by my friend, Rebecca) and I found it on sale at Wal-mart last month so I bought it. Then I noticed everyone getting all excited about Mockingjay and thought, "Huh. Guess I could start reading The Hunger Games now." So I did. Like four days ago. And I just finished Catching Fire. And now I'm waiting (rather impatiently) for Rebecca to bring me Mockingjay so I can finish that and avoid more precious sleep. I didn't expect to get so sucked in, but am thoroughly enjoying the read. I love it when I do get sucked into books and I'm happy I've came across so many this year where that has happened.
The problem with getting sucked in is that the next book I read always seems to fall a little short and then I see something shiny and forget all about reading and it takes a month and a half to read 100 pages. Still, I'm doing better than I thought I would so that's something, right?

The Hunger Games is amazing! I first heard about it at book club back in Utah, one of Mike's sister's friends had just read it. I thought it sounded kind of scary at the time, but really interesting, and then a year or so later I found it at the library and picked it up. You have to let me know what you think of Mockingjay--although I suppose if you looked at my Facebook about a week ago you already know what I thought!
Also, I'm starting to feel like I'm going to have to loosen my rules a little bit, because I got way distracted with "extra" books that didn't apply toward the 10/10/10. By this I mean that I will probably allow some of my books-adapted-to-movies choices to overlap with picks from the other categories. And, I changed the series category to a miscellaneous category, so that some of the extra things I HAD to read (like Mockingjay) could actually apply instead of just delaying my progress.
