My mini-goal this month was to beat last months’ 12 books record. I do think that I got quite a few books read, both audio and paperback. I was kind of on a fiction kick this month, and I even bought a book that I had been looking forward to for quite a while. I’m starting to run low on audio books (got two left!) so I’m planning to go to a different library and see what they have. There are quite a few audio books that I’m interested in on my Paperback Swap queue but they just move so slowly.

Friday, February 1st, 2008So it’s been the first month of my book reading resolution. I’ve managed to read 12 books so far. I think that’s pretty decent. Of course, I’ve spent several evenings and lunch hours studying for my GRE instead of reading, so until I’ve finished with that, it’s sort of out of my hands. And then probably once I start school again all my reading time will go out the window. I remember not really loving that when I was in school, I rarely had a chance to do any fun reading because I was always reading long essays and books for school. Anyways, here’s the January wrap-up.
