Well, I set a goal of 75 books for myself to read last year. How did I do? I came close. I read 54 books! I was making good progress towards finishing my goal, and then I started my new job. I have not read much since then, as I get home too late to read, and I am too tired. However, this is the list of the books I read in 2012:<\/p>\n

    My Kindle is still overflowing with books to read. I have more than 100 waiting to be read, and over 200 samples of books I would like to check out. So, for 2013 my reading goal will be 50 books since I have a full-time job, and I know my reading time will be limited.<\/p>\n

    What are you reading this year? What are your reading goals? Have you set one yet? If so, let me know, and let me know what you are reading! I am always on the lookout for a good read.<\/p>\n
