Inspired by prettybooks I did the 50 book challenge in 2011. It was a challenge, but I am glad that I did it. However, I will not do this again as I noticed that sometimes I would not read a book because it was long and I figured I would fall too far behind. I want to read the books I really like and not have it determined by length. So I will still try to read a lot, but I will not keep count on how many I read. Though I am keeping track of what I read on goodreads.
