New Year's resolution check-in...

One of the resolutions, or goal really, that I made for myself at the start of 2011 was to read 52 books by the end of the year.  That obviously equates to one a week, and I allowed myself the benefit of including audiobooks towards my total since I spend so much time in my car.  As it is now June 30th and therefore the midpoint of the year, I felt it time to check my progress.  As of today, I have completed the 23 books listed below, all of which have been read/listened to since 1/1/2011 in the order they were read:

(1) I Remember Nothing: And Other Reflections by Nora Ephron
(2) I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman by Nora Ephron
(3) Heartburn by Nora Ephron
(4) The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
(5) A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle
(6) Postcard from the Edge by Carrie Fisher
(7) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
(8) John by Cynthia Lennon
(9) In His Own Write by John Lennon
(10) The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
(11) The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
(12) Fade Away (Myron Bolitar series) by Harlan Coben
(13) The Girl Who Play with Fire by Stieg Larsson
(14) Reading Magic: Why Reading Aloud to Our Children Will Change Their Lives Forever by Mem Fox
(15) Better Than Life by Daniel Pennac
(16) Autobiography of Mark Twain, Vol. 1 by Mark Twain
(17) The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest by Stieg Larsson
(18) On The Road by Jack Kerouac
(19) Promise Me (Myron Bolitar series) by Harlan Coben

(21) The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri
(22) Room: A Novel by Emma Donoghue
(23) Brave New World: A Novel by Aldous Huxley

Therefore, I am three books shy of where I should be at this mid-point of the year. Stay tuned for a posting late December 2011/early January 2012 to see if I reach my goal!
