My ongoing goal since 1999 is to read one book every month. If I miss a month…I must make it up some time during the year.  Any more books over that is just a bonus. 

I’ve decided to keep my goal for 2010, even though I read more than 12 books this year.  I’m doing that because my second goal is to read a bit more substance this year…see below:

I had an awesome year of reading, from a numbers standpoint, in 2009. I read one book about every two weeks (29 total). Unfortunately, not too much substance. I read mostly what I would call my “in between” reads instead of my substance reads and would also venture to call it the “finishing the series” year.  I actually didn’t get all of them completed, but did really good. I plan on finishing up the rest of them during the beginning of 2010, so I can start on a very long, but very worth it (so I’m told) series called Outlander.
