So far this year…

David Foster Wallace – Consider the Lobster
Sarah Vowell – Partly Cloudy Patriot

k i am done! i was sure it wouldnt be hard.. well its hard to read while i am in school but with the time off i can read like crazy… i will probably read alot more than 12 but this was the goal.. so i will consider it done

well reread it so that i can be ready for the new one that is coming out…

just one more book to go

4. The Zahir – Paulo Coelho
5. For One More Day – Mitch Albom
6. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix – JK Rowling
7. Little Alters Everywhere – Rebecca Wells
8. Life Makeovers – Cheryl Richardson
9. The Giver – Lois Lowry
10. Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood – Rebecca Wells

almost done… i figured i should be farther along than that.. oh well.. the harry potter book i re read because of the movie coming out.. and now i am going ot re read the half blood prince so that i am ready for the new one when it comes out..

The books I read will be ones I have read and havent..
I really hope I can do this.

Who knows.. maybe I wil try and finish 52 books in a year..
a book a week?

i liked it.. not loved it but i liked it… anyway i would recommend it to others though.. it wasnt that bad or anything.

already i have read two books this year… 1. Bridges of Madison County.. which i really loved… it was beautiful.. and 2. Like Water for Chocolate… it was good.. not the best book i have read though.. it had a style that i wasnt crazy about but i did like the actually story.

this isnt something that will be hard to do. but its a starting off place for the new year.. last year i read 28 books, (some of which i had reread) but still… with school and all.. it will be a good goal to keep
