As many of you know, I am an avid reader. A little over four years ago, I started keeping a journal of every book I read. I would briefly write down what the book was about, my thoughts and impressions of the book and sometimes favorite parts or quotes. Last month I reached a milestone. I read my 100th book. This averages out to around 25 books a year. I couldn't believe it! It has been a lot of fun to look back on all that I have read, many I have enjoyed and some not so much. Below are a few of my favorites. I look forward to another four years of reading enjoyment and adventures from my couch.

Congratulations Sarah!! That is AWESOME! I wish you were still nearby so I could be in your book club. I'm still reading, but not at the same pace as you. I just read "My Sister's Keeper" and now I'm reading "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" and "How to talk to your kids will listen and listen so your kids will talk." Keep the book lists coming!
Wow, Sarah that is great! I have read many of those same books, and am reading "Goose Girl" right now. I just read one called "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy"-I will pass it on. I wish I would have kept a log of all the books I've read, that's a great idea!
