I like to read....a lot. I didn't realize this until this past year. I gave birth to my second son, Charlie, in December 2010 and at the same time I began to read again. In the course of the year I read over 40 books. I think I did it to give me something for 'myself', an excuse to take a breather from the craziness in our household and exercise my brain a little. Well, it's about to get even crazier as I have just started back to work full-time with a 5 year old, 1 year old, and a husband that also works full-time and commutes over 2 hours daily. More than ever I'm going to need a little time to relax and reflect and reading will do this for me. My goal is to read a book a week. Yes, that's 52 books by January 1st, 2013. Some make take over a week, but I'm hoping there'll be some shorter ones out there that take less time, so I can catch up along the way.
Then why am I writing about these books in a blog? I regret not keeping track of all the great books I read last year - not even a list. When friends and family ask me "Can you recommend a good book?", I wish I could remember the titles of all the great ones and why I loved them so much. I also want recommendations on what books I should read and I hope that you will offer up your favourites. I need 52 in all.
Don't expect any great literary talent or extensive reviews. My degrees are in math, statistics, and nutrition. I'm not a writer, but I am a reader and hope to share with you the books I enjoy and what I've learned along the way.
