January
Last year I had the aim of trying to read 50 books (I think I started to keep track in the spring), and managed to get through 25.
I also had a list of books that I wanted to read, but only managed four of them. I hate seeing unfinished lists like that, so I am going to take a different approach this year.
This year, I think I am going to just read and read, and keep track of the books with the list below. I will offer thoughts on some of the books and would love feedback if any of you read them or have suggestions for ones that I might enjoy, etc.
Happy Reading in 2012, everyone! ![Coffee :coffee: :coffee:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/coffee.gif)
