This year I began a reading challenge because I read a lot, and what would a New Years Resolution list be if I didn’t add anything book related? The challenge is to read a book a week, for a total of 52 books for the year. Now, I’ve beaten this record many times over in my day but, I’ve found that since I’ve been out of school I haven’t made personal time for myself and the library (book store, nook, etc.) that I usually have. So I decided to make this resolution for myself, and let me tell you, it has started with a bang! I’m currently finishing book five and starting book six later in the day, so I’m right on track. Here’s my list so far:
- The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo – Stieg Larsson
- The Hunger Games – Suzanne Collins
- Catching Fire – Suzanne Collins
- MockingJay – Suzanne Collins
- The Boy In The Striped Pajamas – John Boyne
- The Girl Who Played With Fire – Stieg Larsson
- Dark Prophecy – Anthony E. Zuiker
I’ve argued with myself over #5 because the book is so short, I felt I should have added another one to last week, but coming off of the Hunger Games binge (I couldn’t resist!) I felt like it could get a pass. In other news, I’m excited to finish the Millennium Series, and have been wanting to crack open the sequel to Level 26 for a few months now. I always find myself ready to read it when I’m not able to look at the interactive videos and it’s so inconvenient! I’ll also have other challenges cut out for me, such as the ‘A Song of Ice & Fire’ series by George R. R. Martin, because those books are just daunting. I’ll keep this post as a running list for the rest of the 52 that I read this year, let me know what’s on your bookshelf in 2012!
