[Olympia]

I did terrible last year I only read 17. So this year I set the small goal of only 25, any thing else more than would be wonderful.

I have made my challenge slightly smaller than last year too. But I don't think it's worth making ourselves feel bad about the books we don't read; as long as we enjoy and get something out of the ones that we do get through....

1) Jeffrey Toobin - The People V. O.J. Simpson

My first book! Absolutely fascinating... a real insight into the OJ Simpson case.
