Reliance = <3!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a book reading goal, but last year I made a spreadsheet of all the books I read. I was at 49 (including beta reads, but not including books I wasn't reading for the first time--like when I reread HG and CF before Mockingjay's release). This year, I'm going to count every book, even if I've read it millions of times, and I made two separate columns, one for published books & one for beta reads. I'm kind of hoping to crack 75 this year.
ReplyDeleteWow my comment is longer than your post LOL. <3
Love love love RELIANCE.
ReplyDeleteAHH Reliance is #1 in 2011! (lol) You can totally do 100 this year. Though I read a little over 50 this year and it felt like WAY more than that.
ReplyDeleteYou should def. count the books you read to the kids! Then you'll get well into triple digits.
Revolution is fantastic! Read it... and then go and read all of her other books!
