Goals...

Last year, 2009, my goal was to read 50 books. Well, I met that goal by reading 56 (10 of those being children's books for school). Anyhow, I decided this year that I wouldn't set a goal that I just wanted to read. So read I will do...Do you know of any good books?

So, I've gotten very OCD (or is that CDO??? haha) about how I read books. For example if I add a book to the TBR list that I have going on - that's about 650 books - then I will find and make a list of all the books by that author and the order that the author wrote them in. Very nerdy I know. But again I'm rambling. So I have an excel file with different authors and all their books listed. I'd love to read all of a few author's books. Like I know I have two Jodi Picoult books left and then I will have read all of her books.

So read just to have fun - because reading is fun - is my goal and lose a little bit more weight is another goal for 2010. What are some other goals I could set?! Hum...

I do the same thing with authors! If there's a particular author that I want to read, I'll go and make a list of all their works chronologically, and then I start at the begining.

Those are great goals! I set a reading goal last year that was just too much for me. So like you...I'm not setting a goal this year. Just doing it for fun, whenever I can!
