My 2011 Reading Project

At the beginning of the year, I mentioned I wanted to read at least 15 books this year. Currently, I've read 6 books out of 15. Back in February, I was reading thru books, like they were magazines and then suddenly stopped. I don't know why, but I plan to hop back to it.

Here are a few highlights from several books I've read.

Organize Your Life:
After reading this book, it motivated me to prioritize my time better. In fact, it jump started my reading. I managed my calendar better, I even managed it by the hour and I penciled in (modern translation: typed) when I would read and guess, what I READ, often. Maybe I should go back to this method.
Room: 
This story is told from the perspective of a 5 year old boy. His mother and him are held captive, in a shed. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves non-fiction and a good story.
Sloppy Firsts: 
Because we all need that guilty pleasure. I found mine. I've always been a fan of non-fiction adolescent novels. This story is told in journal and letter format. I like that type of writing method. I'm also glad I picked up this book because it's a SERIES! Yay! I'm about to start on the third book. 
Mile Markers: 
This is what I'm currently reading. I like how the author is a mother of (I think) 3 kids. She works, writes and runs. She sounds like a super mom to me. I run, race, and blog but I only have one child and sometimes it's exhausting.
So, I have a few more books I need to read. HOMEWORK. What should I be reading? C'mon bookworms, I know you've got something for me. =)
