2008 Book Challenge- Year end Review
Ok... On Ravelry (think Knitters and Crocheter's Facebook) we have been having the book challenge. My goal this year was 100. My Final Tally 102. Goal for 2009: 102.
Lessons Learned: can tell how stressed I am by what I read. The more stressfull the year/month the less stressfull the books. I also will reread old favorites, I think this is the readers version of comforrt food. I also noticed that I am addictive in my books. If I find an author I like I will scarf everything of theirs I can get my hands on. Notice the 200000000000000 murder she wrote books on my list. Heh. I also realized that I LOVE audio books. They make me get to work in a happier frame of mind.
