2008 Book Challenge

I am embarking on a reading challenge for 2008.

Basically, the challenge is to read as many books as possible in a year. I've decided to do this because I realized just how much TV I've been watching lately and how little I read. I used to be such a book worm but ever since I started University, my book counts have become lower and lower and lower. Sigh.

I actually started this challenge in the summer when I had so much time to read--I even bought/borrowed a few books to start with but that didn't end up so... err, yeah.

I'm setting my goal at 100 books (at least 150 pages) in hopes of exceeding that. The goal is a little lower than my ideal, but I like taking time to read, absorb, reflect, etc... on books I've read. Also, some books are more dense than others.

If you have any book suggestions, please leave a comment.

Thanks!! :)

More books, less TV!!

Reading Nerdfighters FTW!!

Other 2008 challenges:
1. Learn to play the guitar (this has been my goal every year for the past bazillion years) and play one of Hank's songs (Accio Deathly Hallows)
2. Knit a Harry Potter scarf (the original one: maroon, gold, maroon, gold)
3. Learn how to do more artsy things
4. Seek out opportunities to speak more French (be fluent!!)
5. Intentionally schedule "me" time and be less stressed (this book challenge may be the solution "two birds, one stone")
