The question:
Happy New Year, everyone!
So … any Reading Resolutions? Say, specific books you plan to read? A plan to read more ____? Anything at all?
Name me at least ONE thing you’re looking forward to reading this year!
My answer:
I was hesitant to make real resolutions this year, since I am almost never able to keep them, but I’ve decided that I want to have fun reading this year. I don’t want to make resolutions and set goals because my life is going to be crazy! I just want to read what I want, and blog about it, and enjoy it. The year of reading for fun!
I’m looking forward to reading a lot of things this year! I don’t think I’ve mentioned the new page I created on my blog, Books I Covet, but check it out; it’s all the books I want and don’t have. Well, not all the books because that would take forever to list, but just a sampling that have caught my eye. One of the things I’m most excited about, though, is Ballads of Suburbia by Stephanie Kuehnert.
Have a great 2009, everyone, in reading and in life!

I have so many books I want to read this year – but yeah, can’t lose sight of the fun aspect :)

I love your point that reading is supposed to be fun. Sometimes as a reviewer staring at piles of TBRs, I lose sight of that. I’d love to know how you created your Books I Covet page.

Yeah, I definitely felt like reading was becoming something of a chore, with promises to read, and challenges, and reviews to write….So this year is about having fun!
As for Books I Covet, just books I happen to come across that sound awesome; there’s no formula to it or anything!
