I have a confession to make... I love to read... but more than loving to read... I love the thrill and excitement of discovering new books. When I decided to read 100 books of 2013, I discovered my planning nature quickly took over. Over 85 books were on the list within 24 hours. I discovered the magic of
Goodreads and started organizing everything I read and wanted to
read in 2013.
Here is the thing...Goodreads, friends, bookstores, and now new bloggers exposed me to great books that I am dying to read. While I try to mix it up and keep to the books I pick out each month, sometimes I discover I need something different or I am really excited about a new book. Now in July, I miss my strolls through used book stores (
The Book Escape is amazing in Baltimore- You can't beat
McKays in Tennessee) and browsing Amazon and Target for new books.

Some of my books...

So forgive me, if I delve off from my list or if I move a book to a different month. I believe I will be a life long reader. Ideally, I will read them all at some point. Many books I just keep adding to my Goodreads shelf. It looks like I have about 43 books left to choose from. I encourage you to check out my Goodreads
to-read shelf. Let me know if there is a book that I am missing, or I should try to include this semester.
Let me know your suggestions!
Maybe, I will even take a planned month of reading off( gasp) and read for fun...
Hope to finish..
Love in Time of Cholera tonight!
Happy Reading!
You and I have some good ones in common on your to read list, although mine aren't all on Goodreads, but stacked around my bedroom. So I'd say you have a pretty good list.
ReplyDeleteOne that keeps getting recommended to me is The Devil in the White City, so I'll probably read it next. And The World's Strongest Librarian. I am finishing up The Count of Monte Cristo by tomorrow hopefully.
