Goodreads 2013 Reading Challenge

Today, I signed up for the Goodreads 2013 Reading Challenge with a goal to read 50 books by the end of the year. This is 10 books more than my usual goal and includes a bit more fiction than I normally read, but I am looking forward to it. 

Of course, there is nothing like signing up 2 months late, and already being 4 books behind schedule! I guess  I’d better get cracking! So far, I have read Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott for the third time, The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton—one of my new favorite books, I am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced by Nujood Ali—a fast and interesting read, and Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss—a must-read book. I will try to catch up this week and next with short reviews of each book I have already read, and then try to post a review each time I finish one in my list of fifty. 

Wish me luck, but honestly, it is Aaron that needs luck if he hopes to have dinner cooked every evening 🙂 He usually finds me buried in my book long after bedtime, and knows that if I go out of the house, I need to have my camera, my journal or something to write notes in, and a book to read.  I am looking forward to joining this worldwide challenge and love any organization that encourages reading books!! 

I cannot believe that 246 challenges have already been completed and it is only the beginning of March! Egads! Here I go to finish off my next book! Hasta el proximo libro!
