And of course, the fact that my books-to-read list is growing exponentially since I began working at the library doesn't hurt at all either. I need to have some motivation to get through at least *some* of the books I want to read. I am also finding myself using my Goodreads account more often now too. It's another good way to track (although I haven't put everything I've read this year on there) what I'm reading and what I want to read. Sometimes, though, when I read one of those fast, fun cozy mysteries that only take a few hours? Well, those don't always get put into Goodreads. I get finished with them before I have a chance to enter them.
Also? War and Peace is off my to-read list for this year. Just doesn't work with this particular goal. :-)
Here's a book I just started today, after it was highly recommended by a couple of friends:
It's the first in a series of mysteries set in a small Canadian town. I checked it out from the library before I went to lunch. I have to say, it is pretty incredible to be able to have tens of thousands of books just a few steps from my desk. Every day. (OK, except weekends.)
I have to say that this will likely cut into my yarn time this year though. I am OK with that. I have missed reading more than I realized. But that's why a few audiobooks are a good idea. I can knit or crochet and "read" at the same time!
That's pretty much it for now. I have a book to get back to!
Oh, I guess I should tell you where I stand in reaching my goal. As of today, I have read 25 books. One-quarter of the way there.

I'll admit that I'm loving my kindle app (on the iPad) more and more, and I love my Audible account (more knitting), but there is something about sitting down with pages that makes it just right.
I'd love to see a list of what you read for the year! I also look forward to hearing what you think of each book you read. It may add to my list of books I need to read :)
