I love to read. Nothing makes me happier than curling up with a good book. Every year I set myself the goal to read 50 books. Some years I come closer than others, but I really enjoy having this goal. It motivates me to push through books that are less interesting (does anyone else have a compulsion to finish a book they've started, despite not liking it?) and it makes me happy when I can check one off the list. This year is no different. The one resolution I'm concretely making for the new year is to read 50 books in 2014!
In 2013 I read 39 books, total. I actually think I read closer to 50, but not according to my Goodreads (you can find what books I completed there). I also found two really awesome reading lists that I can't wait to delve more deeply into in 2014! While one of my goals is to read all the books I currently own instead of purchasing new ones, I know that I will still spend a lot of time in the various used bookstores in DC. It can't be helped!
I hope you'll follow along with me this year on my journey to read 50 books. Let me know in the comments if you'd like to join me, and please share which books you're reading! And follow me on Goodreads!
