12 x 12 in 2012 Reading Goal

i started this as part of a group on Shelfari.  i am listed there under Pansyliz.  You can join various groups to read and share reading experiences.  i liked this one that came up....so here is my working list for now.  What is your reading goal for the year?


12 x 12 2012

12 books in 12 categories in 2012.  That is way over my regular goal of 100 (and i am behind), but i will take this challenge on and enjoy the outcome until 12/31/12.
