My Goals
  • To read some new books, starting 2012 off with a bang!

  • To give myself something "productive" to do in my homework procrastination time
Books To Read

  2. Unearthly by Cynthia Hand (if it comes into the library in time) 
  3. - I want to read 4, minimum, but I'm not sure what the other two should be.

  1. My suggestion is to check other people's lists and see what they have - you might find a book that you simply must read! :)

  2. I second Amanda's suggestion. I've been adding books to my TBR pile left and right just from seeing other lists.

  3. @ Amanda & Mandi - So true! My TBR list has grown exponentially just by perusing around all the book blogs. I don't know how I'm ever going to keep up!

  4. I agree with the three above, I've already added a few to my tbr due to that strategy. Have fun!

  5. Looking at lists on GoodReads can give you a bunch of ideas as well. I find they're usually helpful and organized into different categories to make things easier. :)

  6. Whitney - Yes, it's definitely effective! :)

    Alissa - Ah, yes. Goodreads is pretty much my favorite site ever; I can spend hours there if I'm not careful, LOL.

  7. Your blog is cute! You've read 4 books! That's great! One book a day!

    If you need a suggestion, read Touch by Jus Accardo! You won't be disappointed and you won't be able to put it down!

    1. Thanks! :)

      Yep, with school starting back up, I don't have as much time to read, but I figured that was an attainable goal. So far, I've done it.

      Ooh, thanks for the rec! I'll definitely check it out.

Psst! I now reside over at The Book Barbies. I'd still love to hear your thoughts, though!
