Overzealous Reading Goal

I declared this time last week that my reading goal for 2012 was 100 books.

It is quite clear that I was still caught in the starry-eyed bliss of being a woman of leisure for a 10-day holiday. Where I read something like 4-5 books in those 10 days, thanks to the help of a brand new Kindle Fire, some awesomely fun books, and of course, a great deal of free-time.

Then I went back to work. It sucked the motivation right out of me.

I am right at halfway through Monica Leonelle's Silver Smoke, which is quite long but goes quickly when I get an undistracted block of time.

I also got the itch to read some classics. I started Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, but I may not get back to this right away. I also purchased The Catcher in the Rye in hard copy (since it is not yet available for Kindle). Yes, yes, it feels like sophomore English. It only gets better... The Great Gatsby is on my wish list as well.

I will chop down my reading goal, at this time I'm not willing to go under 75. This is a solid goal. I think I can do it....
