I always thought I spent most of my time reading cozy mysteries and nothing very profound--I'm kind of surprised at the eclectic reader I am. Maybe not profound, deep stuff but certainly a variety of topics and I'm glad for that.
Well, I set a goal of 52 books for 2011 and finished them so was 22 books ahead ( don't know how they figure that) so I upped it to 104 and now I'm 8 behind. Guess I'll have to get cracking! LOL
Well, here it is the end of the 52 weeks. I'd set a goal of a book a week and exceeded that by August. Foolishly, with less than six months left I doubled my original goal. Now, I finish the year having read 83 books--80% of my goal. Well, in grade terms that is a solid B--well a B-, and I will have to work harder in 2012 to achieve an A. Or, I could, as so many do in education to improve scores, lower my expectations. Say, maybe 75 books in the year. But, never having been a subscriber to that manipulation, no I shall challenge myself once more to 104 books in 2012.
