I finally succumbed to the temptation... I'm in. I'm pretty sure I won't make it through the 100 books if I don't do several marathons in 2013, so hopefully my language skills are up to it by then. I also made a blog.

What about L-R audio + text like those at http://albalearning.com/
That site has somewhere around a hundred audio books in Spanish with complete text.

I am in for German. I do not think I will make it through 100 books, but we will see. Either way, this will really push me.
Best of luck to all.

After much consideration I've decided to do a half challenge(50/50) in French rather than a full challenge in Japanese because 1. my French listening is horrendous whereas my Japanese listening is good, 2. I've been meaning to improve my French for ages, and 3. I can't bring myself to give up my other languages(especially Japanese) completely to free up the time I'd need for 100 books. As it is I'm not sure I can read 2.5 books a month.
I won't be able to start until May 22, though. I wish I could substitute the 2 weeks I have completely free now for those 3 weeks of may :/.
