My goals this year include, as usual, reading books I already own, which is tough to do because they are older and I often am reading new books in order to know about what is currently trending. I commit to reading at least 12 of them.
I'm not going to stress out about how many books I read this year, and am going to continue trying to prioritize people over books.
_____________
So how did it really go? I only read 4 books that I actually own. 3 in the first month of my resolution. ha. I read some great stuff but I still ignored people sometimes. I read Anna Karenina for the first time and the first book in the Wheel of Time series. I think both of those should count for extra since they were sooo long. Can't wait to see how many award books I read, so on January 11th I'll be watching the ceremony from my computer...
