2011 Book Challenge
Another backdated post for my 2011 book challenge which I forgot to post when it happened. This year I didn't have a hard goal, I just read however many books came naturally; or, at least, that was the idea. After I missed two entire months of reading because I was playing Pokemon, I panicked a little and made more of an effort so my count wouldn't be abysmal. I do seem to read much less without a quota to meet and spur me on. I had been rating the books 08, 09 and 10, but halfway through this year I decided not to rate anymore. I didn't enjoy doing it and I was always changing them.
Total: 88/75
