Stay tuned for a list of "to-reads" for 2012. My Goodreads shelf is empty and ready to be filled with some incredible books. How many are you hoping to read this year? I just want to beat my recent totals of around 60 or so. Maybe 2012 will be the year I read 70 books?


And a link to the recap for last year: is here!

  4. 70 for 2012? That's a wonderful goal.

    I usually average around 25, but would love to double that in 2012 (except gonna be extra busy so just gonna try to maintain 25).

    Best of luck!

  6. If you ever DO get ready for mom jeans, I'm hitting you over the head with something.

    This is actually really cute. I've seen it done with songs, but never books. Fun!
