Every January 1 try to make a silly little personal goal...
not necessarily a resolution, but something I can try to do for the year.
In 2009 I did a project 365.
I took a picture every day of the year and journaled about my day.
It was a pain... but I actually did it!
In January 2010 I decided I was going to try to read 52 books...or a book a week.
I am a reader, so this wasn't really moving Heaven and Earth to get it done...
just a little more effort and counting had to be done.
I did it!
Actually, I read 54 books.
A total of 21,221 pages.
This is something that is just little, and quite silly.
But I accomplished it!
My favorite book you ask?
Well... I read a lot of books and found some real gems!
But, Without a doubt... my favorite book of the year would have to be
GONE WITH THE WIND by Margaret Mitchell.
I had never read the book and only seen parts of the movie.
It was an amazing book and an okay movie.
I loved the characters!
If I were crazy enough to have another baby and it was a girl... Scarlett would be her name.
Rhett? What a man's man! Loved him too!
I especially loved the whole Southern Cultural Experience.
The history was amazing!
This is one book that everyone should read in their lifetime!
I logged all the books I read on Goodreads and have my 2010 book shelf on my sidebar.I don't know if I will read as many books this year... it's not my 2011 goal.
I will still read quite a bit, but I'm just not worried about a number.
Do you like to read... What is the best book you read in 2010 ( or ever...)?
Do Share!

Amy!! I knew you loved us southern girls. I think I read Gone With The Wind in the 5th grade and loved it! The book is sooo much better than the movie. I read alot of good books this year, The Help, The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo, but I think my favorite was The Hunger Games Series. I got a kindle 2 years ago and I read so much more now. You need to come visit us in the South. You can always stay with me!!! :)
I kind of forgot that Gone With The Wind was even a book. I guess since you loved it so much, I should read it!
I am not a big reader...
Is that a deal breaker?
That is some serious reading!!!
I've never seen the movie or read the book. Now I'm ashamed!
You have motivated me.
well, obviously i am a day late and a dollar short--i am just catching up on my reader and now i get why you were all, "you didn't know i read gone with the wind?"
i validate you.
