I've decided to participate in Book Chick City's 100+ Books in a Year Challenge for 2012. I haven't been taking the time to read like I should, so this will be the year that I reignite my passion for literature.I'm not setting a reading list ahead of time. Instead, I'll keep a running list in my journal of books I'd like to read, and keep track here of the ones I've finished. If I hit 100 before the end of the year, I'll just keep going.
If you have any reading recommendations, please let me know. I'd be happy to add them to my list. Wish me luck!
