Personal Goal Achieved

Every year, I set a reading goal for myself.

Some years I reach the goal; other years I do not.

This year, I have reached my goal of 112 

(because it is 2012) books

and it is only November 6th.  Who knows

how many more books I might read?

The final two books were finished today.

Both books were by authors that

my niece, Jenny, the middle school

librarian, recommended to me.

I listened to this book on CD while driving in my car.
That's a great way to get extra books read.
It was hilarious!  I found myself laughing
out loud at several places.  I wonder
what the drivers around me were thinking.

Laugh with the Moon by Shana Burg

was a fantastic read.  As the book

flap promises, it is wise,

warm, and brilliant.

For some of you, the following

message is "preaching to the choir",

but be patient with me.

If you have not read any children's

or young adult books lately,

treat yourself.  They are

some of the most well written

books around these days.

Visit the children's

section of your local library

and ask the librarian for some

suggestions.

I will let you know at the end

of the year, how many books

I end up reading.

HAPPY READING!
