If you are one of the 3 people reading this post (Hi, Mom!) you might be wondering what this is all about. If you don't know me, you might want to know why I am doing this. The short answer... because I can. The long answer is not nearly as succinct or as easy to identify, but I will give it a shot.
In 2009, I took the 50 Book Challenge to see if I could read 50 books in one year. I did it with very little problem. So this year, I thought I would try to read 100 books. I was doing really well with 15 books in the first two months of the year. I enjoyed posting the titles on my Facebook and getting feedback from my friends. Then I started realizing that I wasn't enjoying what I was reading. If what I was reading was short, I felt like I was cheating. If it was usually long, I might decide to not to read it. No matter what I was reading, I was more worried about how many pages I read than in how much I was enjoying it. And if I didn't like it? I kept up with it just so I wouldn't mess up my numbers.
About the only thing I was really enjoying was when my friends commented on my Facebook posts. I love discussing books. So I decided to change my focus from reading to reviewing. Mostly this blog will be book reviews and occasionally blog reviews. Every now and then, sometimes more than that, I will be posting about whatever floats through my brain. I hope you enjoy and comment. This will be a much more interesting experiment if I am not alone with it.
