Project 52


I'm taking a break from posting photos to tell you about my psuedo New Years resolution. I don't like making resolutions, instead I usually make a list each year on my birthday of things I'd like to accomplish in the next year. (I still haven't shared my list for this year, maybe I should do that?!)

Yesterday Michal and I spent some time in Borders (We used to work for Waldenbooks) and I realized how much I've missed reading. Lately I've done better but I'm still only reading one or two books a month at best. For shame!

So, as of yesterday I began Project 52. Please feel free to join in! (And share!!!!)

The goal: read 52 books in one year.

Rules:

1. You may read at your own pace, but I recommend one book per week.
2. No re-reads. If you began a book but didn't finish that is ok.
3. No magazines, ebooks, audio books, textbooks, etc.
4. Acceptable forms: All fiction, non-fiction, and collections of essays, short stories or poetry. Graphic novels count as long as there are lots of other types of books being read too!

I will post about each book after I've read it and you'll be able to read archives. I hope you will join in!

Look forward to your posts about the reads. Just finished Parrot and Olivier, and have The Slap on my bedside table.

I so wish I could do the 52 week project. I could read 52 books but as soon as I commit to a project, I fail.

This is one project that I might have to try and take on. Great idea for a new years project! :)
