Question about 50 Book Challenge

Along with [livejournal.com profile] a_d_medievalist and inspired by [livejournal.com profile] brisingamen, I'm going to try this year to do the 50 Book Challenge. Already I have a question though. Just before Christmas, I started reading Wolf Hall, on a 7-day loan from the library. It's a BIG book and I was worried that I wouldn't finish it by the 30th, when it's due. Now I don't have to worry, as last night [livejournal.com profile] lidocafe gave me a copy of my Very Own, so I can finish it at my leisure (and I'm loving it, so want to finish it but don't want to rush).

Okay, so here's the question. If I finish it in 2010, which I'm likely now to do, am I allowed to count it as one of my 50 books??

Yes, if I can count any one thing I start before the first and finish after. Think of it as incentive!

It's a deal!

I got given it for Christmas too, and looking at it now? Hell yes you can!

A book that big? Definitely, I'd say.

I lust after it but am trying to be strong as I have several others in the queue before it.

I say yes, but not because I know anything about the 50-book challenge.
