Wow Dar, you are ARC obsessed. LOL! I'm glad you did so well. Are you going to join us again in 2010?
You did better on this one than I did–but at least we can both say we succeeded through level 3. LOL Great job, Dar.

Congrats. Very nice list of books.
WOW Dar….That is a lot of ARCS. I thought I was bad with 65! I hope to lower that # for 2010, I don't like the pressure and there are too many other books I want to read!
Have a great Happy and Healthy New Year.
