How did I do? I did read over 30 books, just not all the books on this list. I read 34 books, four were rereads so I figure that I just made my actual goal of 30! Ha!
In addition, I blogged about every single book I read... a first for me. I learned something about myself from doing this. If I sit down to review a book within two days of finishing a book, I can do it. The longer I wait to write it, the harder it is. Click on the hyperlinks to see my reviews.
