In my initial post, I had 8 YA books on my stack, of which I read 7. The one I did not get to had a hold on it so I could not renew it, but I have it on my TBR list for 2010.
Four of the YA books were excellent: Catching Fire, Shiver, Hate List and Willow. I highly recommend them.
On the adult fiction stack I had 13 books and I read 7 of those books. Two of them I did not finish, both of which just did not interest me. One was a second book in a series and the other three had holds and cold not be renewed. Of those that I read I, of course, loved Drums of Autumn and enjoyed The Wet Nurse's Tale, Summer On Blossom Street, and The Girl From Junchow.
I read an additional 57 books during the challenge. I got off to a great reading start and continued it right before Thanksgiving when our family had a couple of scary incidents that took away from reading (all is better now).
Thirty-five were "new to me authors" and I have completed most of my reading challenges for the year. There are two challenges that I will not finish this year.
Thank you Katrina for hosting this fun reading challenge!

I may have to add Catching Fire to my TBR list, I've heard great things about it. I'm really impressed that you already have a huge selection of books to start 2010 with... I only have three! Thanks for visiting my challenge entry.
Merry Christmas

Wow, you read some great books for this challenge, plus 57 extras! That's pretty amazing.
How in the world do you read so many books? That is amazing.
I love "A Girl Named Zippy"! It's one of my favorites.
