I have copied a dear friend of mine in her goal of reading 100 books in 12 months. I know I read a lot, but what type of books do I mostly turn too? How many books do I read in a month? Are there certain months that I read more in?
I would love to learn these things.
So I will be adding to this entry throughout the year. I will have a link in the sidebar.
Wish Me Luck!
*UPDATED*
~~~54/100~~~
I tried I really did, if I could count textbooks or magazines I could get a good twenty more into my total.
But
I failed.
I missed my goal by a few
okay more than
a few.
But it was fun.
This quest and love for reading has made me step out of my typical norm
has me even in a book club.(met some wicked neat ladies from it)
So I will try again. Going from August 2011-August 2012
Check out the second attempt and it's book list over here.
Otherwise check out the list below for some good reads!

Good luck! That is a stunning goal, maybe I will start? I have a "25 in 25" goal right now but that seems pretty small compared to yours! And anyway, I just finished 2 in about 2 weeks, I am opting for more reading time instead of more internet time lol. ANYWAYS, here are a couple suggestions for you, don't know if you've already read them but, here goes:
The Carrie Diaries (easy & fun read!)
Eat Pray Love (Reading it right now...I don't care what the reviews say, I am loving it!)
Her Fearful Symmetry (by the author of The Time Traveler's wife, also a delightful one if you've never read it...)
And next up for me is The Happiness Project, after I finish Eat Pray Love.
I need more book ideas, too!!
