Reading Challenges and more update stuff

They always seem to go together. I wonder why?

For the 100+ Book Challenge, to read 100 books in 2009: I just finished it! Wherever Nina Lies is the wonderful book that ended up being my 100. Actually, I had wanted it to be Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen, but somehow I miscounted and it was the book before, making Wherever Nina Lies 100. :P Oh well. I loved WNL so it's fine. I'll still be recording my books and all, because I think it's a great idea, in the right sidebar gadget.

Lauren is still plugging her way through the challenge, but she's more than halfway now, at something like 58, and will no doubt finish the challenge. I mean, it's summer! We've got tons of time.

And the Sarah Dessen Challenge. A mini updated list:

1. Along for the Ride (Lauren AND Alex)

And that's it. :/ Gotta get working on that one. There's always so many library books to read though! Ack.

And on another note, I changed the layout again! I'm really starting to get the hang on the HTML stuff. Not really getting the hang, but I'm learning. And I actually really like it. (I'm a computer geek like that.) There's lots of great tutorials out there, which are so so helpful. I'm going to need to widen the header somehow, since it's at an awkward length. Okay, question: Keep the same banner picture but widen it, or change it to something else entirely?
