I did it!!

Yeah!!! I read 75 books this year with a few days to spare! This was a wonderful challenge for me. There were times when I thought I wasn't going to make it. Thank you to my old friend Emily Sonderegger for inspiring me to do the challenge in the first place.

For next year, I think I'm going to up my number to 80 books. Wish me luck!

Oh, and I hope everyone had a great Christmas and has a wonderful New Year. Stay safe.

And tell everyone about my blog!!!

Numbers Update

So my goal is 75 books by the end of the year.

I am now at 52!!!

I really didn't think I was going to make it. Checking books out from the library has really helped my numbers though.

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the library. I remember as a kid spending lots of time at the library during the summer months. I was always winning those reading contests they would hold! I would check out 8-10 books at a time and return a week later having read them all and filling my arms with more. It was a long walk from home, but my siblings and I really enjoyed going. When I was in my early teen years, I would check out poetry books and type up all my favorite poems on my Mom's typewriter (yes, an actual typewriter, not a computer!) I think I still have my file in one of my boxes in storage.

Anyway, I love the library. I love reading. I love that my kids love to read!

See ya later!

New Goals!

It's a new year and thanks to an old friend, I have a new goal. I have started this blog to track the books I will read this year. The goal is to read 16+ books more than what I read last year. That's a huge goal for me. As anyone who knows me can attest, I am an avid reader. Really avid. Voracious you could say! To read at least 16 more books than I read last year will mean I need to read about 75 books. I am starting right now.
My first book is Fear Nothing by Dean Koontz.
