I have a confession to make: I love reading. Love. Love. Love.

I also love setting goals.

This winning combination has led me to an annual tradition of aiming to read 100 books per year. This will be my fourth year setting (and achieving, I hope!) this lofty number. To get to 100, this typically means that I start about 115, and don’t finish about 15 of them. I keep a running list of the books and what I think of them in my journal, and this year I’m going to put them online as well (to bore you all!). If you read my other blogs, you know this is copied there as well;)

Here goes…
