2011 Reads

My goal for 2011 is to increase the number of books read to 150 from my piddly 125 max. I’m not sure how attainable this will be, given that in addition to reading I am now reviewing and blogging, which definitely cuts into my reading time.

I have in no way finalized my list of items to read, and of course this list will change as I find other books to read that I haven’t yet discovered, but so far here are a few of the books I plan on reading in 2011.

If you have any suggestions, please feel free to recommend them to me in the comments, on Facebook or Goodreads. I am happy to consider any books that are Young Adult, Paranormal, Stephen King or Charlaine Harris.

So no crime drama, horror or non-fiction. And no straight-up romance novels. Chick-lit or PNR is OK! (Although my Goodreads might not reflect all, I have read almost everything by John Saul, Dean Koontz and early James Patterson, Mary Higgins Clark, Richard North Patterson, Tami Hoag, George Dawes Green, V.C. Andrews, Agatha Christie, etc. so no recommends by these authors either.)

Books that I choose to re-read in 2011 will not count toward the 150.

UPDATE: I decided to re-order the list by date that I reviewed each book.

(Note, these are not in any particular order. And many of these I either already own or have on pre-order so am also hoping to consider this a resolution to read all those lovely books I already have collecting electronic dust.)

Even if I’ve read a book, until I review it, I will not cross it off this list.

I will most likely read more than 150 books this year. I might also not end up reading all the books above, given that there are so many new releases just begging to be read. Only time will tell. But if you know of a book I should definitely add to this list, please feel free to let me know!

As I read each book in 2011 I hope to cross it off the above list.
