In 2010 I set a new year’s resolution to read a book a day. I haven’t made a final tally yet, but it was much less than 52. I did learn learn last year however that a journey isn’t about adding up all the mistakes and unmet goals. I’ve renewed the goal, got a Kindle for Christmas & have some others that wanna read along so we can discuss the books. If you’d like to join in, head on over to the Classics Club page on Good Reads.
