How to read at least one book a month
It made me
Bookish
 "“The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” - Dr. Seuss"
How I did it: My theme for 2008 was self improvement (mind, body, & spirit). One way I thought of improving my mind was by reading at least one book a month for a whole year. I started in January but things always came up and I was unable to read. So I started again in July 2008 . This time I did my best to stick to the goal. I would set aside some time either in the morning or before bedtime to do some reading. I would also use my lunch break at times to read books. Sometimes the book I'm reading is so interesting that I would end up finishing it in one sitting. Lessons & tips: If you ever want to just relax, escape, meet fascinating people, learn about new things and about yourself reading is a great way to do it. Just pick up a book and start reading! Resources: Good old public library and my sister's book collection

super happy.
How I did it: I've always loved to read, but with uni and work, i just had no time. This goal helped me get back to the state of enjoying fiction and time to myself. I learnt to read out of my usual genres by starting a book club with my friends, and trained myself to always keep something to read with me. I would often read more then one book at a time, to keep life varied. If i got tired of reading I would pop my head back into something light, abit … Read how I did it…

How I did it: After months of just saying that I wanted to start reading for pleasure, I finally just started reading. I started reading the Twilight Series and now I can't put the books down! I can't wait for the movie to come out! Since reading the series, I have been able to take a little time out of everyday to read a little. Read how I did it…

I have just bought a bunch of psychology books that i really want to read and ive been trying to read about 3 everyday but its difficult to follow up. I think that this is a realistic goal. and i plan on doing this hopefully. I will get to finish one of them by the end of oct. :)
I need to have more time reading those books than watchin something silly on tv.

This took a bit longer, but only because I was reading some other things in between (not worth mentioning here). But I enjoyed reading it a lot.

I’ve been doing really well with this. So well, in fact, that I went and got a library card! I had to pay for it, since the library in my town smells horrible. But it’s cheaper than buying all the books I read. Trading on Bookmooch had become tiring. I’m currently wondering if I can’t find a resale shop around here, for my used books that I don’t want to keep.

I really like to read. Sadly, I developed a taste for it at University, when I have found less and less time to do many things at the same time without them affecting one another. I’ve accumulated a written list of over 80 books I would like to read, and it grows faster than I can read them. Let’s see if I can manage to read at least 20 pages of leisure literature a night to complete an average book a month. And maybe not finish the List, but give it a run.
