Resolutions

With only one day left in 2010, I think it's safe to officially declare I kept my 2010 resolution. I did something I've been meaning to do forever and I'm so happy I did it. I started a book journal. For those non-bibliophiles, a book journal is a journal where you record the books read during a calendar year and make some comments to yourself about them. Probably having a book journal is a sign that you're a complete dork. Since I'm actually writing about my book journal, I'm sure that makes me an uber-dork.

Yet, here are some of the great things I can do now that I have a book journal. Here are a few fun facts from my journal:

Books Read During 2010: 27 (My sense is this is about average for me.)

First book of the year: The Help, by K. Stockett

Most recent book completed: Garden Spells, by Sarah Addison

Books I Couldn't Get Through: 1 (Cutting for Stone...I gave up around page 200.)

Best Books: The Help, The Book Thief, The Girl Who...series, Elegance of a Hedgehog

Worst Book: Getting to Happy, Terry McMillan, Sweeping Up Glass

Book that made me laugh so hard I cried and embarrassed Maggie in a public place: Sh*t My Dad Says (Really, she told me to "get a hold of myself")

The great thing about a resolution like this one is that I know I'll keep it going. Now, that I've started tracking my reading, I'm sure I'll always do it. Now, to find an easy resolution for 2011...hmmmm...
