Happy New Year!
So, I did it! I made it through my first year of the challenge and managed to read one book a month. Okay, so November's book might have been a cop-out, but in the seven months of the challenge, I read eleven books. Even taking out the cop-out book and the one that didn't count because I bought it myself, I still average 9 books over 7 months, so I did it.
No matter how I look at it.
Which brings me to the 2011 part of the challenge. This year I am challenging myself to read two books a month. I'm going to try to read two each month, but if I read 24 books by the end of the year, I will be happy. Life with a toddler is a bit of a gong show and there are periods of chaos and periods of relative calm, so 24 books for the year it is.
Oh, and I've made one modification to my no rereads rule (you're still free to reread as much as you want) - I can count rereads for up to half of the 24 books...after I read 12 new and 12 rereads (or some other combination of 24 where number of new reads > number of rereads) I can reread as many as I want!
What are your reading goals for 2011? Anyone out there still with me on this challenge?
I am here but as you can imagine my reading is very far behind. I am hoping that the new ereader will help becaus!e it makes it easier to hold while nursing. Great goals for 2011
ReplyDeleteMelynda, you have three little girls...I'm amazed at how much you manage to get done in a day...How do you like the e-reader now that you've finished The Good Daughters?
