It is sort of almost magical to enter into a new year.
I mean…
yesterday didn’t really feel very different.
But today does…
My first sign was that Goodreads took away all of the 165 books I read last year and organized them for me by the way I rated them.
Magically.
Then the 2012 Goodreads Challenge came up.
And it starts all over again.
I already finished one book.
Not that I am racing anyone…at all.
Goodreads even took the books on my virtual shelves and gave me even more recommendations based on what I virtually shelved there.
Gosh.
I really didn’t need that one.
But I have it.
They know me so well.
Anyway…I am more organized this year.
I am not just oohing and ahhing over the books that come to my door.
I am stacking them neatly in the order I am going to review them.
Take that, Excel Spreadsheet…and thank you for this idea, Laurel!!!
I am going to give myself weekly reading/reviewing goals…
and then a reward.
That should keep me on my toes in 2012.
It looks like you are off to a great start in 2012! Yeah! Goodreads does sound very magical and I like your idea of stacking your books in order. I do that with the pile next to my bed. But I sometimes sneak other books in front.
The book you just finished sounds fun. I hadn't heard of it until I read your post. I like clever books and this one sounds great. Thanks for sharing!

I didn't do a good job of keeping up with my books in Goodreads last year and hope to do a better job this year.

165 books is an impressive number – I'm impressed!! I discovered “What Should I Read Next” recently and find it a fun resource.

I haven't go go book shopping for this year yet… but hope to stack on more fantasy on near my bed. Oh I love that book! The cover just made me laugh, too 🙂 It sounds very interesting 🙂

I didn't exactly choose what I got to read – had to many books in the queue for review!
