50 Book (Summary) Challenge 2009
I saw a post on LJ about people doing a "50 Book Challenge 2009," but can't seem to find out if this is an official sorta thing or if people are just doing it as some sorta meme.
Anyway, I figured that 50 books would be simple for me but that what I ought to do to challenge myself is to keep track of all the books I read and write at least a short summary of them. If the summary only has to be a sentence or two long I'm sure I can manage it. I'm so terrible about writing things regularly; I generally don't manage to get off my ass and actually type up what I'm thinking. And as I'm almost a librarian (one more class!) and it's highly likely I'll have to do booktalks and book reviews in the near future as part of a job rather than as an assignment, I should get used to doing that.
So, if you notice that I haven't posted a note about what I've read, email me or comment and NAG ME! ;)
If you find stuff like this is annoying and you don't want to have to scroll by my book notes on your friends' page let me know and I'll exclude your journal if I can, but I think I may actually make these public, unlike everything else I post.
