okay, so this is the beginning and i've already read two books. this year is different because i'm actually starting in january and not march, haha. i'm also going to try to read 50 books that i've never read before..unlike last year where i read 67 but only 40 were new to me. so, hereeee i go.
edit 2-2-09 //

i just completed #25 and i'm behind schedule..big fucking surprise. i actually started what will be my next book before harry potter but then i couldn't find it so i started HP because the movie is coming out next month so i want to conquer them all for the 395832 time before that happens. i really need to finish up #26 though wtfwtwgtwtgskdgjs.
edit 7-12-09 //
just finished half-blood prince..which was #30. i love that damn book. i was thinking about waiting awhile to read deathly hallows since the movie isn't coming out and that's the main reason i read 1-6 cause i always read them before a movie comes out..but how the fuck can i resist? i have to read it. it's just so good. HP series will never get old..ever :(
