My personal 100 book challenge
In several posts over the last year and a half, I alluded to the lack of time I had to for personal reading time. Now that I have officially graduated, I am taking full advantage of the extra time I am finding.
I’ve been inspired by an English-teacher friend who set a goal last year to read 100 books. It was fun to follow her progress throughout the year, and to see what titles she chose (English teachers are such great resources!). Even though she fell short of her goal by 9 books, she undauntedly set a goal of 111 books for 2011.
I decided to set similar goals for myself this year, and aim to read 100 books in 2011. I’m off to a decent start, having finished my 5th book of the year this morning. I probably won’t blog every book here, but I’ll post my reviews of the YA titles I read. Instead, I’ll be using my shelfari account to keep track of my books. This great tool links readers with book and with other readers, and I’m enjoying it so far.
So whether you can only read 10 books this year, or 100 – feel free to join in!~
