2007 Year in Review

[sakuraigirl]

As usual I managed to succeed in some of my goals for 2007... and totally fail at some others. Of the ones I didn't accomplish, I will try to do again this year that includes...

• Read The Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole.
  
• Read Mansfield Park by Jane Austen.
  
• Reread Mary Stewart's King Arthur saga.
  
• Catch up on Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series.
  
• Read at least 100 books. This was the first time in 2 years I didn't acheive this goal.
  
  I'm off to a pretty good start with the first two as I am in the process of reading them both.
  
  I also have additional new goals for 2008...
  
• Read more: Albert Camus, Mary Renault, P.G. Wodehouse, Yukio Mishima.
  
• Read for the 1st time: Tom Robbins, Haruki Murakami, Dorothy Parker.
  
• Catch up on all my 2007 book reviews (which I've made place markers on my journal for).
  
• Keep more up-to-date with my 2008 book reviews!

I know I'm probably a little over ambitious for 2008, but I think I need to challenge myself more this year.
