Goals are probably a big topic now being the New Year and all. Everyone is making new ones but I thought I would review what I had read this year.
I keep track of what I read on Goodreads. Which is kind of a good way to keep track of what you read and how much you liked it. My goal was to read 52 books in a year. One a week. Guess what I did it. I rock.
Of the books I read this is how I rated them
13 books received 5 out of 5 stars
27 books received 4 out of 5 stars
11 books received 3 out of 5 stars
1 book received 2 out of 5 stars
That’s pretty good considering I gave 40 of the 52 a 4 star or better. Sounds like 2012 was a good year for reading. If you are curious about the genres I read it breaks down like this.
19 of the books were Young Adult
10 of the books were Fantasy
4 of the books were Thrillers
3 of the books were Science Fiction
and the rest were a smattering of other genres.
If I had to recommend any of the 52 books to anyone it would be Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand. It was super interesting and an amazing read.
Bring on 2013 and 52 more books.

wow, that is impressive. Are you going to try to beat that target this year?

If I can count all the books I read to my daughter I will crush that total in January.

Way to go! I haven’t gone to Goodreads yet to see how many books I read in 2012–but I don’t think I was on there a full year (or if I was, if I was that great at keeping track). I’m gonna be better about it this year. And yeah, I could crush that total too with my kids, plus my students:-)

Yeah if we counted all those books we would be dominating. Although I would have to review the same book over and over and over. My guess is the star rating will go down every 10 times I read it.
