Book Reviews
I've read fifteen books so far this year which is pretty good, but much lower than I had planned. I identified 37 books that I wanted to read at the beginning of the year and I am not going to make it.
One of my goals for the year was to read more. I am sure that I have read more than previous years by a couple of books, but I can't be sure since I have never kept track like this before. I read at least one book a month for book club. Honestly, I usually skip at least one book club selection (and WISH I had skipped The Pilot's Life. Gah.). I usually read a couple of books during my week of summer vacation, but this year was different (Chicago alone with 4 kids didn't give me many reading opportunities). I will get some reading in during the next couple of weekends as I help with debate tournaments (judges have a lot of down time).
It is hard to sense book size when you read on a Kindle. The last book I read I read in just a day, but I think this was because I enjoyed the book and had the time to read. The book I started last night is great, but I think it's pretty big (I could check page length, I suppose). I would like to finish five books by the end of the year. I think I will go through my remaining list and pick the ones that I want most to read.

Reading books just to reach a goal is about as pointless as a hotdog eating contest. At least,that winner isn't hungry.
