Every year I make a goal to read x amount of books. Last year I went off the deep end with 50; I lost count but I can guarantee I didn't read that many. I love to read by never take the time, outside of the 15-20 minutes before I go to bed, which I don't really count because I fall asleep and have to reread most of what I already read. Vicious cycle really. So, this year, I am setting a more specific goal, a list of 15 titles I want to read in 2012. 15 is pretty realistic, and I am almost done with the first one of the list. And, I already own nearly all of the books, so I don't have to go find them to read them. Here's the list. If you have any suggestions of a good read to add, let me know.
- A Lion Among Men by Gregory Maguire (the third in the Wicked series)
- Out of Oz by Gregory Maguire (the final book in the Wicked series)
- Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame Smith
- Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
- The Help
- Still Alice by Lisa Genova
- Hey Day by Kurt Anderson
- The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Laarson
- 11/22/63 by Stephen King
- Bossypants by Tina Fey
- Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
- The Plot Against America by Philip Roth
- WAS by Geoff Ryman
- A Widow for One Year by John Irving

The Help was phenomenal.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was hard to get into at first, but push through the first 100 pages, and I promise, it gets amazing. If you need, I have all three of those books & can drop them off the next time I'm in Lincoln.
I don't know how many books I read last year either - I wish I would've written them all down.
I assume that you liked the Wicked Series? I'm looking for another series, but haven't heard of any that I haven't already read. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for more suggestions :)
Happy Reading!
I haven't heard of any other good series either :(
