100 in 365 Challenge # 2

Okay Y'all..

if I am at least one thing it is determined.

yes, I fell shy of my goal of hundred books in a twelve month period

you can look over my reading list by clicking here

or on the side bar

BUT

how many people can say they read even ten books in a year?

So my total books read of 54  is a good try I think.

Things I have learned

I read a lot of paranormal romance books

That is because the paranormal genre has always interested me

I like to believe that there is magic out there and sometimes with the good magic you got to the scary kind

I also love them because they all feature heroines that are

strong

fiesty

capable

fighters

....

yet deep down they are romantics

loyal

kind

These are things I am and things I long to be

I also noticed that I get a book from a series, sometimes not always the first one and then latch on

I go on to read any books I can order or get at the library

So that is why last year some of my series were read out of order.

because of this goal I joined a book club

this has helped me read books I never would have

and

then met some awesome ladies. I have a meeting tonight for July book.

I am excited

This will be really long for y'all to read in order to get to my list so I better cut this off.

Anyways.

Goals for August 2011- August 2012

1. READ 100 BOOKS( duh right?)
2. READ SERIES IN ORDER
3. IN ORDER TO REACH GOAL MUST READ AT LEAST 5 BOOKS A MONTH
(this makes it to where the months I am not in school or have time off I can read more, to reach it I actually need to read 8-9 books a month, I know that won't happen always)
4. READ MORE OF A VARIETY
( in the last few months I got more of a variety in there but for the majority it was romance, paranormal or paranormal romance. I want substance, truth, thrillers etc)
5. FINISH THE SERIES I STARTED LAST YEAR
