I know it seems like a small number compared to some of you avid readers, but believe it or not last year I tried to read 50 books, and failed. Ended up at 31. It's kind of embarrassing for me to say, since I've been a bookworm my entire life and even majored in Literature in college—but I'm a slow reader. Really slow. Not exactly glacier, but I definitely like taking in every single word and hearing it in my head.
Really I think the reason I fell short in 2007 is because I was reading too much of a slightly less exultant media form, *cough*fanfic*cough* and also because I kind of took a break from reading after I graduated... when books just reminded me of school a little too much.
In 2008 I'm ready to jump-start my reading. I have a giant stack of books to read, including both new books and old favorites that I've left by the wayside for a while. And I really WILL make it to 50 books this year. I'll be keeping tally in a sidebar just like last year, and if you see me lagging, feel free to prod me along, won't you? ;)
