I’ve been trying to hit the 50 book challenge for the past few years, which basically requires me to read at least one book a week. Not happening. My average is around 25 in a year, and that’s often the result of reading a bunch while on break or vacation, and not paced throughout the year.
This year, I’m going to try something different. In addition to reading as many books as I can, I’m making a list of the twelve books that I want to try to read this year that are currently sitting on my shelves or wishlist. In no particular order, here they are:
How to Booze: Exquisite Cocktails and Unsound Adviceby Jordan Kaye, Marshall Altier [completed Jan 30th]- Memories of the Future – Volume 1 by Wil Wheaton
- The Outback Stars by Sandra McDonald
- Nerds: Who They Are and Why We Need More of Them by David Anderegg
- Crystal Rain by Tobias S. Buckell
- Hamlet’s BlackBerry: A Practical Philosophy for Building a Good Life in the Digital Age by William Powers
- The Silver Ship and the Seaby Brenda Cooper
- Kate Remembered by A. Scott Berg
- So You Want to Be a Wizard by Diane Duane
- A Cat Named Darwin: Embracing the Bond Between Man and Pet by William Jordan
- The Ship Errant by Jody Lynn Nye
- Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table by Ruth Reichl
