Safe to say I am doing pretty good on my 100 books challenge...Good Reads wants me to up my challenge number. I am going to wait till I meet the challenge and then see. I might push it up to 150...or not. I might be out of town for the last two months of the year and might not get a ton of reading done then, so it doesn't make sense to get cocky and biting off more than I can chew.

I've read all these books and I have largely liked most of them...some better than others. One of my reading resolutions for this year is to not suffer through a book I didn't like. If I don't like it, I stop reading it and maybe in a couple of years I'll get back to it or I give it to someone who'll appreciate it better. Life is too short to read bad books!

I'll be doing proper reviews on some of the books I loved best. Tell me if you'd like me to review a particular book on the list. And tell me if you've read any of these books and what you thought.
