My list for 2008 was pitiful! That's why my FIRST new year's resolutions was to read more! I have stolen a few of the titles on all of ya'lls lists! My goal for this year is about 50! Does anyone else do that? Set goals for yourself?

yeah, my goal this year is 75 and I am on book 36 already, and nearly half way through it. Hopefully I'll finish it soon, and move onto the next one.
Books are my life
