I know that reading is so good for you. And I admit... I've definitely not done enough of it. So I've made up a list of books that I want to read by the end of the year. These are not necessarily in the order I plan on reading them... but somewhere around there :)
If you click on the title of the book it will take you to the description/ordering page of each book. Just so you can check it out if you want to.

Thats all of 'em! I want to read 28 books in the year of 2011. If not more! I'm already almost done with 'Blue Like Jazz' so that'll be one down!
I love reading. I love seeing different views on subjects that I've never really given thought to. Or just hearing what someone has to say and going 'Wow! I never heard it put THAT way?!' Maybe I'll do a book review after each book. :) We'll see.
Why am I telling all of you every single book I plan on reading this year? A couple reasons...
Reason #1: I feel that I'll do a better job of doing this if I tell the whole internet world my plans.
Reason #2: Maybe you've been wondering what books to pick up and read... here are some ideas!
Reason #3: I know that my friend Danielle H. reads this blog and her status on Facebook the other day really motivated me to get moving on this. So thank you Danielle.
Anyways, I'll let you go now. I encourage you to get out and read something! It keeps you thinking!!!
I think it'd be awesome to have a book read your book reviews. I too have a love for reading, but find very little time to do so....at this point in my life anyway. Esp. with putting in 10 hour days.
ReplyDeleteWow... that first sentenced really got mangled.
ReplyDeleteIt should have read " I think it'd be awesome to read your book reviews"
:) Haha you're hilarious my dear. I'll admit... I had to read it a few times before I understood it :) But I'll do the book reviews then! :D
ReplyDeleteHey girlie, how are you doing on your reading of the 28 books?
