It’s time to start year three off the goal to read a book a week for the entire year, totalling 52 books in 52 weeks. In year one, I only made it to 8 books. Last year, I managed to double that, which was good, but still far short of the goal.
I’m going to give it another shot this year. I got a few new books for laying around, so I’ve got a pile to start with. As a reminder, the rules I am using are:
- You can count a book as read as long as you have completed the book in 2012 and at least 50% of that reading takes place in 2012
- Any book counts as long as you’re not embarrassed to count it.
- Poetry collections do indeed count.
- Re-reading a book is okay as long as it isn’t done this year. (Reading Twilight twice in 2010 only counts as 1 read)
- Audiobooks also count.
Not sure where I will be starting off. I did get a few new graphic novel hardcovers for Christmas that I may try to sneak in to get a head start. Or, I could dive in to the 900 page opus that is Stephen King’s latest.
