100 books in 1 year

It's been so long since I've blogged that I thought it might be best to start over! Last year, my friend Ryan and I decided to have a "contest" to see who could reach reading 100 books in year first (or if it could be done). We never did follow through on it and I thought it might be time to try it again. Although this time it won't be a contest... I'm going to do it on my own. You'll get to follow along with me on my journey.

I thought I would update every week on what I've read, what I've thought and give a few highlights/lowlights/recommendations/etc. I'm also very open to suggestions on what to read.

So it here it begins. I had thought on waiting until January 1, sort of a "New Years" resolution but I know how those all turn out; I figured why not just do it whenever I want.

The week of August 30 will be Week 1.

For those interested the books I'll chat about include:

Circle of Friends by Maeve Binchy
and
The Sister by Poppy Adams

It makes me feel like I'm back in school. This will be my grow up version of a book report. For those who really know me, know that I love to read and it's nothing for me to read an entire book in one day.

It's sad, sometimes pathetic and always embarrassing.
