I didn't set a goal of reading a certain number of books, but in November when I realized I was getting close, I decided I wanted to hit or exceed 100!
I read the Lovely Bones in college and loved it too. I found another Alice Seybold book on sale at the library the other day and picked it up, I'm interested to see if it's as good.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you really should get good reads! It's like the Strava for readers. Except I don't really follow anyone else I just track my reading there and it's so much fun to do. I love the yearly reading recaps!
I opened a Goodreads account yesterday, hah! And what's really funny is that I told one of my running buddies this morning that it was like Strava for runners (but also that I don't want to use it that way but want to track my books/get recommendations in a more structured way). :-) Let me know if you enjoy the other Alice Seybold book!
