It’s time to start year three off the\u00a0goal to read a book a week for the entire year,\u00a0totalling 52 books in 52 weeks.\u00a0 In year one<\/a>, I\u00a0only made it to 8 books.\u00a0 Last year<\/a>, I managed to double that, which was good, but still far short of the goal.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to give it another shot this year.\u00a0 I got a few new books for laying around, so I\u2019ve got a pile to start with.\u00a0 As a reminder, the rules I am using are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 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<\/li>\n
  2. Any book counts as long as you\u2019re not embarrassed to count it.<\/li>\n
  3. Poetry collections do indeed count.<\/li>\n
  4. Re-reading a book is okay as long as it isn\u2019t done this year. (Reading Twilight<\/em> twice in 2010 only counts as 1 read)<\/li>\n
  5. Audiobooks also count.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Not sure where I will be starting off.\u00a0 I did get a few new graphic novel hardcovers for Christmas that I may try to sneak in\u00a0to get a head start.\u00a0 Or, I could dive in to the 900 page opus that is Stephen King’s latest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
