So, now that I've run my first 5K, I'm on to a new goal. This was, in part, inspired by Hillary at NotRaisingBrats. Before The Lad was born, she read more than 100 books in 2009. I'm a reading teacher and probably read HALF that. Shame on me! So, in an effort to have a more respectable reading record, I'm reading 100 books in 2010.
My trusty Kindle will make suggestions along the way, but so far I've just been getting suggestions from friends.
Here's what I've read so far:
Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Stephanie Meyer
The Solace of Leaving Early, Haven Kimmel
Lucy, Jamaica Kincaid
The Likeness, Tana French
In the Woods, Tana French
People of the Book, Geraldine Brooks
Hatchet, Gary Paulsen
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Steig Larsson
Gooney Bird Green, Lois Lowry
I've also joined Jonniker's Book Lushes site to get more recommendations and discuss books online. Happy reading!

I was reading like crazy for a couple months. Reading at least two books a week. February came and I could not get into one book. It's terrible.
Good for you for having a goal!
I recently read A Thousand Splendid Suns and it was very good.
Great minds. I have a post scheduled for tomorrow with reading recommendations in it.
