I get that. I actually spend a lot of time doing crossword puzzles. One of those books takes me HOURS when you add it all up. I should put them on my list...

Unfortunately I fell well and truly short of my target. So will aim for fifty books for the year 2011. If I manage to get through those, I might raise it to seventy five or one hundred. As I already started the book I am currently reading two weeks ago, I will not count it towards my completion of this years goal. Thus my first book will be the one I start upon completing it.

Okay, everyone who has posted new lists so far now has an updated link on the front page. :yes:

I didn't quite reach my goal this year - Student teaching and grad school made it pretty tough to read. :(

Oh well! New year, new start. I've already got a pile of books the size of Mount Everest, so I better get crackin.

I can almost understand the feeling. I already was in a situation where I had not read the vast majority of my books, yet I have started increasing my book collection once more. These past few weeks I have purchased fifteen or so books. o.o

Isn't Goodreads great? It's such an easy way to organize your library, make recommendations, and read reviews. I've really fallen in love with that site and use it all the time.

Edit: This is probably only cool to me, but I adore how the copy-pasted URL automatically transformed itself into a pretty link that displays my information. :heart:

So here's the deal: I didn't make it through all 50, due to a hectic work/school schedule last year. Therefore, I am combining this year with last year, and my new goal is 75 total. I know its not a lot for 2 years, but I have a busy life :P
