Books 2013

It's a new year for me to attempt actually reading a few things. Last year I didn't do too badly, although I still haven't finished the book that is last on my list of those I actually read in 2012. I did manage to read 24, which I believe is 7 more than I did in 2011. Yea, those of you who manage to read 75+ books a year astound me.

I'm already behind the 8 ball with those I haven't finished from last year, those that are sitting untouched from last year, and those that I should have already read because I need to review them from last year.

I suppose my reading goal this year is to get caught up, not to mention actually READ the 10+ books on parenting that I really need to get through before the kids are grown. {One piece of advice: Read those books BEFORE you have kids!}
