Hi there! I will be joining you once again for this challenge. Just to clarify, I assume you mean it will run from Jan. 1, 2011 to Dec. 31, 2011, rather than 2010.
Not sure if there is a linky or not, but count me in! I posted about the challenge here:

I tried this last year and didn't do too well on the challenge, so trying again. :) I'll be keeping track of my challenges in this blog post:

Hi there! I just finished my first book for the challenge and was wondering if there's a linky for review links or whether to just leave it in the comments.

I just found your challenge, it looks great! Can I count Jane Austen books that I have read since the challenge began but before I joined? (I have been reading and reviewing a lot of Jane Austen novels on my blog recently, eight since January first.)

I read Pride and Prejudice in February of 2010. Living in England convinced me I'd probably love her writing; and I do!
I finished reading Emma in March 2011.
I am reading/listening to Northanger Abbey right now.
I would like to read at least one more Jane Austen title during 2011.
