read...


So another one of my "30 before 31" goals was to "Read 12 books in a year."
I bought a little spiral notebook where I began to write every book that I read that year.  Unfortunately, after my 30th birthday in April...I didn't even pick up a book until June.
At that point, I was afraid I wouldn't meet my 12 book quota so I started to read, and read, and read.
I ended up reading 80 books from June 2010 to April 5, 2011.  
EIGHTY!
Insanity :)
I put together a list for myself of all of the books that I read this year.  I grouped them by series or author.  I honestly was too lazy to link all of them but if you "amazon search" them, I'm sure you will find them just fine.



If you have any questions about any of these lovely reads, please feel free to contact me.  Also, if you have any books that you think I may like, I would love to hear.  
As you can see, I love reading.

  2. I'm speechless...in awe...a tad jealous. Reading 12 books is one of my new years resolutions this year. I am finishing my 3. Yep--only 3 so far. I'm was an English major and I am a book hoarder but I just can't read more. I honestly think it is my two toddlers that make it a struggle. Anyway, keep up the fantastic reading. I'd love to have a list like yours someday!!

  8. Wowzers that's a lot of books! my bff has a kept a GIANT notebook of all the books she has read since we were in 8th grade. It's insane. She lists when she started the book, finished it, how many pages and I don't even know what else!
