Goodreads and Good Reads.

Hello, just checking in from my parent's house in Joplin.  We are here for a few days before the girls start school again on Friday. 

 

I wanted to post about my Goodreads goals.  (Are you on goodreads?  You should be if you like to read.) Last January I set a goal to read 30 books in 2011.  My, my that was a lofty goal.  I read 17 books.  Unless you count the thousands of stories I read the girsl..ha!  So, this year I set my goal for 25 books.  And I feel pretty good about that goal.  I have already finished my first book this year and I am going to be in Mexico for a week without kids, so that should be prime reading time!!

Here's my list of books for 2011:

• The Duchess
• The Birth House
• When She Woke
• Before I Go To Sleep
• Doc: A Novel
• Stories I Only Tell My Friends
• American Wife
• Saving CeeCee Honeycutt
• The Confession
• The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
• I Will Carry You: The sacred dance of Joy and Grief
• The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
• Having A Mary Heart in a Martha World
• Water for Elephants
• Room
• The Postmisstress
• When You Are Engulfed in Flames

I have finished The Night Circus already and started my book club book The Sweet By and By.
