2012 reading challenge

I was soooo close to completing my GoodReads Challenge of 100 books in 2012. I read 94 to be exact. I blame my kindle breaking on my inability to finish the last 7. Luckily, my new one is in the mail on its way to me. I read a lot of really great books this year. Here are some of the best.

At the end of last year, my prospects were slim. I hadn't yet done any research to go back to school here in The Netherlands, and I was receiving more than my fair share of rejection letters, I decided to sign up for the GoodReads Reading Challenge. I figured, if I was going to have all this free time on my hands, and limited funds, I might as well do something valuable with my time. In the GoodReads Challenge you are allowed to pick the number of books you want to read. Since I had all this time on my hands, and I am a freaky fast reader.

I am obsessed with goodreads, it helps me to keep track of what I have read, what I want to read, and what my friends are reading! This year, I decided to sign up for the goodreads challenge. Basically, you pick how many books you are going to try and read in 2012, and goodreads will keep track of it. Most people seem to have goals anywhere from 12 books to 50. But not me. I figured since I am currently  unemployed, I should set a lofty goal of 100 books in 2012. Or about two books a week, this whole year.
