Reading
With grad school finally wrapping wrapped up, I am ready to get back to my obsessive reading. I miss being able to read for fun everyday instead of having my face planted in a book about WACCs and financial reporting. I probably only read 50 books in 2009 which is abysmal. When I was 21, I made a promise to myself to read every book on the 3 major Top 100 Lists by the time I was 30. I’m more than halfway through {thanks to overlaps}, but I need to get going!

Last year I read 50 books and I thought that was a lot. 150 is quite the goal! Reading children’s books doesn’t count, though
I miss you! – Big
I like the header and I think your goal to read 150 books this year might be a little bit of a challenge with little Samuel coming onto the scene very soon! Enjoy. Hugs, Sharon
Do Jonathan Kellerman books really count? I think we are going to have to check with the judges on that one. Perhaps an asterisk will be in order.
They count.
