Here’s a running list of books read in 2011. I’m not setting a steadfast goal, as I have a busy schedule and cannot always read as much as I would like to, not to mention the fact that Vanity Fair and similarly lengthy planned titles would hinder progress towards a specific goal. I am keeping track of pages, though, just to see how many I get through and compare to future years.

Hey it’s really interesting keeping track of how many books your read. I’m aiming for 100 this year and am using my blog to track them too. It’s definitely a motivator to read more!
I would love to read 100 this year, but with a busy work schedule and the fact that many on my book list are pretty long I don’t know if that’s a realistic goal or not. I’ve set my Goodreads goal to 60 I think, but hopefully I will be able to surpass that easily. Good luck reaching 100!
I really want to read more of L’Engle’s time series. I loved A Wrinkle in Time. :-)
They are great. I have reviews of them on the blog– the 2nd didn’t impress me but the 4th was wonderful!!
I love your business like approach! I’ve sent your review policy to my human’s publisher in hopes that she’ll add you to the list of reviewers that currently have “A Place No One Should Go.” The book resonates with today’s headlines since the novella is a quick, potent read, treating man’s approach to sexual infidelity.
