So lately, my life has become me escaping into a world of books. I didn't blog about my desire to attempt to read 50 books for the year of 2009. But I did make my goal of 50 books and even surpassed it by reading 62 books for the entire year. I enjoyed making that goal and succeeding. This year my goal is to get to 75 books. Which is a realistic goal. But I joined this group (in part due to my friend Dawn) to see if I could come marginally close to hitting a goal of 144 books in one year. Which is broken down into 12 books each month.
As I really love to read and it has become the best part of each of my days. I love the time I can spend in another world that is wealthier, more fashionable, more dramatic, and generally more descriptive than my normal humdrum life. So hopefully. I will be able to at the least update my blog once a month to list the books I have raed for that individual month. Keep posted... and feel free to send me recommendations for books I should give a try. I don't really like anything too graphic. But I have will give any book a try... whether I finish... is another thing.

LMAO ! I love how this was MY doing lol. I know that 144 seems like a really big number, but it will be fun getting there. I figure if I read instead of eat, I should not only loose weight but become well read LOL sounds like a win-win right ? =o)
Sure sounds like a win to me!!!
Just recently discovered your blog and love your sense of humor and outlook on life. And I LOVE that you enjoy reading! I found a site that I use a lot for keeping track of books I've read and of books I want to read in the future...with a goal of 144 this year, it may come in handy to set up an account with one of those sites (Goodreads, LibraryThing, etc) and share some reviews here, too. I totally sound like a nerd...lol. Anyway, good luck and keep up the divine work you're doing here! :)
Michelle, Thanks for reading my blog. I want to just put something out there. I hope to entertain. But no idea if that will actually be the case. I am on Goodreads, I sent you an invite to be my friend on there. Keep reading and if you ever want to have me discuss a particular subject, you would tweet me or you could email me. New ideas are always welcome.
