In 2007 I set myself a challenge to read 50 books in a year. I ended up reading 54 in total. I loved the challenge so much I decided to repeat it. In 2008 I set myself the challenge of reading 60 books. I managed to read 50 books in the year, which I’m happy with, so I’ve reset the challenge to read 60 in 2009.

I got The Time Traveler’s Wife from a friend for Christmas. It’s really good! I need to make a list. :)

I’ll have to check it out.
I found the list has been really good for my memory. I struggle to remember what I have and haven’t read, so it’s a great way to keep up with that. It’s also good to see if you have any unknown habits when it comes to choosing books.
I really enjoy this little challenge every year. It keeps me motivated.
