Books
What have you been reading? At the beginning of 2012 I decided that I would keep a list of all the books I read during the year. I wondered how many I'd get through. I read 35 in 2012 - check out my list.
I started a new list for 2013, but it didn't go so well.
This year I'm trying something different - making the list first, read about it here. It's my list though so I might not read them all if I don't fancy them!
