So my sisters are book worms. I was in middle school, but then life happened. I am aspiring to channel my inner book wormness again. I will not be able to aspire to the greatness that TiffyPoo and Jekala have achieved in the past couple of years. They had a contest to see who could read the most books in 52 weeks. But I do need to make more time for reading in my life and I have been more successful this year than most past years.
I also have an account on goodreads.com where I keep track of what I want to read, what I have on my bookshelf and what I have read.
I have found that I love reading non fiction more than fiction lately.
2010:
1). Eat, Pray, Love (E.Gilbert)
2). The No Asshole Rule (R. Sutton)
3). An Honorable Run (M. McCue)
4). Down Came The Rain (B. Shields)
In progress:
5). The Power of Now (Tolle)
6). The New Jim Crow (Alexander)
