Reading Challenge

I've never done a very good job of keeping track of the books I read.  I've always loved the idea of keeping a journal, but I never got around to doing it.  This year one of my New Year's resolutions was to keep track of my reading.  Just as I was deciding on my resolution I happened upon the Goodreads Reading Challenge.  A match made in heaven!  I set the goal of reading 52 books this year with the thought that I could read one book a week.  I added the badge to this blog to help me stay on track.  So far, I'm really happy with my progress, especially since I always read a lot more once school is out for the summer.  I'm trying to always work on two books -- one adult and one child.  I'm only including "chapter" books in my count.  I'm surprised at how competitive I can be and how much I'm loving this challenge.
