A few years ago I started logging the books have read. I write them in a pretty journal given to me by my youngest son. I have been averaging about 40 books a year not counting the Bible. I have read health books, romance novels, poetry (good and bad), self help books and many genres to numerous to mention. I am becoming well rounded in my reading which is a comfort since I tend to be "well rounded" in other areas as well, thus my lifetime membership at the local weight loss club. However, my stacks of unread books continues to grow. Library sales, gifts, downloaded coupons that are to good to pass up, all contribute to my bookish addiction! My New Years Resolution will be to read all my new books before buying new...I'll never make it!
If you will notice, I have added a new page element to my blog (that was an accomplishment for me). I will be posting the books I am currently reading. I would love to know YOUR favorites and what you are reading also. It is a treat to find new authors, explore new genres and share favorites.
Hope your New Year brings you many happy hours of reading!

I plan on being a member of this club. I got a couple of books for Christmas and I am currently reading one. I think it will be a lot of fun. On your previous blog for Christmas Eve...it is my fav also. It has always been the Shaffer tradition to open presents on Christmas Eve. I think I remeber us Oskolkoff kids taking Dad and Mom into letting us open on Christmas Eve a lot. Happy reading
Okay...I got three books for Christmas and I have read them ALL!!! Is it because I dont have a life? Perhaps. Or....maybe it is because they are all comic books? Perhaps. YOU deceide on that one! I wanna join this club incidently!
I am soooo with you on this one. I have probably 10 books that I have bought but not read, and two of those are compilation books (i.e. all of the writings of O'Henry). Then I check out 6 books from the library at a time and can never get through them all before they are due back. So my New Year's Resolution is to not check out any more books from the library until I read all the ones I own. I'll never make mine either!
Well said.
