Whirlwind

If nothing else, the year 2009 has been a whirlwind for me. I can vividly remembering the passing of 2008 and I look back now with absolutely no regrets. And in this 24th year of my life, one of the goals I've recently come up with is to read 24 books this year.  Yes, this is ambitious, I know...especially considering May has almost completely come and gone and I'm right now wrapping up with book #5.  I think it is five? (i will list them later to make sure my count is right)  Anyway, that leaves me with 19 books to go...meaning in the next 7 months I am going to need to read at least 2 books a month.  YIKES!  So I've been making a mental list of good reads. I am not limiting myself to any one particular genre. Instead, I am going to find an interesting array of books to satisfy this goal. 

So far...here is my list:

1. Rubyfruit Jungle, Rita Mae Brown

2. Written on the Body, Jeanette Winterson

3. Tipping the Velvet, Sarah Waters

4. Shy Girl, Elizabeth Stark

5. She's Not There, Jennifer Finney Boylan

There you have it.
