My goal for 2011 was to read more. I really enjoy reading, but have not had the time in recent years to read. Life kind of got in the way. I made it a goal to read 26 books in 2011. That's around 1 book every two weeks.
I'm happy to say that not only did i meet my goal, but i read 38 books in 2011!!
Here are some of my favorites from the year:
1. Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchel
2. The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
3. Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman
4. Once Upon a River by Bobbie Jo Campbell
5. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
6. The Help by Kathryn Stockett
7. The Distant Hours by Kate Morton
8. The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough
If you want to see the rest of the books I read in
2011 you can check out my Shelfari profile here.
I have decided to keep the same goal of 26 books for 2012. I think that is a reasonable goal.
I never felt that reading was taking my time away from my family or work life. I would like to keep it that way for 2012.
I'm always open for book recommendations!!!
