52 books in 52 weeks

My whole purpose for this blog is to actively track my plan to complete 52 books in 52 weeks. Ideally that means I'll be reading one book per week, but those of you who know me personally know me better than that! And those of you who don't, you'll learn soon enough!

I don't recall where I originally got the idea from. I know it's been something I've been tossing about since my first or second year in college... so it's been about 9 or 10 years. I actually started it at the beginning of 2010 but failed to keep track of what books and the time frames and once I went off track it was all down hill from there! I blame my horrible pick for my February book club selection for getting me off track initially. Thanks a lot Time Traveler's Wife! I know there are fans of that book out there but I assure you that I am not one. And I was really thinking I would be!

So January 1, 2011 I begin again! I will post weekly the book I read along with its stats (page numbers, genre, any other goodies I can think of) and a brief description and my feedback on it. I will post any possible spoilers at the end with a BIG FAT WARNING before them. My goal is to avoid including any intricate plot details that might ruin your experience but I've been known to spill the beans here and there. So I promise to at least warn you so you may avert your eyes before I do!

I imagine many of the books will be fiction. Probably a fair portion of them will be supernatural fiction as that is my current love. Also, a fair amount of those were probably obtained from the "Young Adult" section. I'll have you remember that 28 counts as a "young adult" still ;)
Some books will be re-reads for me. It's been ages since I cut into any of the Harry Potter series and with these last two movies being so thick with detail I believe I do owe it to myself to re-read the series. There are others I would like to re-read as well. However I am aiming for as many new-to-me books as possible. And I'll tell you what... I have a whole bookcase full of them just waiting for me!
I look forward to hearing about the books you're reading and your feedback on ones I have chosen as well!

And I promise that I'll try to keep the posts shorter than this in the future ;)

Greetings and salutations!!

Well hello and thanks for stopping by! I'm going to officially join the world of blogging and pretend I too have something important to say that everyone should hear/read. This particular blog is going to be about the books I have read and am currently reading and perhaps some that are on my to-read list. I hope you enjoy!
