This was the year I originally planned to read 100 books.  Obviously that didn't work and since I felt like I spent every waking moment that year reading, I thought it best to lower my goal to 50 books and once I reached that, then think about upping the number.  Most of these were children's books because I was in Children's Lit at that time and was required to read a certain number.
