2012 Reading Challenge


2012 has just begun and I thought it would be nice to keep track of all the books I'll be reading this year. And to make it even more motivating, I decided to challenge myself and set a goal of 100 books. Crazy? I know. But I decided it would be my only New Year's resolution. So, I might as well totally commit myself to it. 

I'll be listing my books on this page, and hopefully, 365 days from now, there will be 100 of them...
