I love reading. When I was a young girl I would carry a book around everywhere we went, lost deep in the pages of whatever I was reading. A few of my favorites were The Boxcar Children, The Giver, and The Indian in the Cupboard.
This year I have chosen 12 books that I would like to complete. Basically one for each month but I'm not going to be legalistic about it, it's more of a guideline. Some of the titles I have picked up and put down several times, usually because they are larger and the language more challenging, like Anna Karenina and Middlemarch. I have also strived to make the collection a good mix of literature and current novels, both of which I enjoy. I hope you too will be inspired to make 2011 a year of wonderful reading!
