Well 2010 was a good year for me. I managed to complete my challenge for the year which was to read 50 books. Finishing the 50th book at lunch time on the 31st of December was pushing it though.The fantastic blog and podcast Books on the Nightstand have issued a challenge to read +11 for 2011 which means I will be attempting to read 61 books this year. To make it a bit more interesting I have decided to split the books I read into six groups of 10 with one left over just in case there is a book I read that doesn't fit into the categories. These six groups are:
- 10 books borrowed (whether that is from friends or the library)
- 10 books from the shelf (books that have been sitting on my bookshelf but have not been read)
- 10 books made into movies
- 10 books purchased in 2011 (really a reason to buy more books - sorry Martin)
- 10 classics (so far my list for this category includes Little Women, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights)
- 10 reviewed books (I want to increase the amount of books I review for work)
At the moment I am reading "The Keeper" by Sarah Langan which I borrowed from a friend who warned me that it gave her nightmares. That warning was warranted because I can't take it to bed with me because I'm a bit wuss! Great story though. A review will be coming once I have completed it.
