2011 Reading Challenge

Feb 12, 2011 by Karlyn

At the start of 2011, I gave myself a new personal goal of reading 30 books this year. Goodreads.com is a great site to help me keep track of my reading progress. It’s been about 6 weeks now and I’m on my 7th book, so I think my progress is pretty good so far. It may slow down some when I start my spring semester of classes next week and have all that extra material to read as well, but I look forward to the challenge.

I’ve experienced something interesting lately too.. it seems with reading is the more I read, the more I WANT to read. I wonder if that’s true for most people.. Since I’m not sure, feel free to chime in and let me know if that is something you have experienced too.

I recently purchased the Nextbook3 tablet which will help me progress quickly to my reading goal of thirty books. I love this gadget! It came with 25 amazing books and I’ve loading some of the ebooks from my PC to it. I’m set for a while. Right now, I’m engrossed in The Idiot, by John Kendrick Bangs. From my nextbook, I can FB, Tweet, check my mail, etc.. wirelessly and have access to some fun andriod apps. Ok, didn’t mean for this to turn into a commercial. Sorry.
