Making it Up As I Go

This year, getting to my goal of reading 100 books has been a bigger challenge than in previous years because so much of my time is dedicated to the sweetness that is Zoe. So I’m thinking next year I might change the goal to 50 books, which is just slightly less that 1 book a week. At this point that’s far more achievable, although the thought makes me sad. But I can still read more than 50, right?

In preparation, I’m putting together a list of books I want to read. Here it is- do you have any suggestions to add?

Little Women-Louisa May Alcott (haven’t read it since I was 7)
Jesus the Christ– James E. Talmadge (Shouldn’t this count as 3 or 4?)
Wuthering Heights-Emily Bronte
Watchmen– Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons (I know, I know, but somehow I’ve never gotten around to reading it!)
