950 A new year and a new challenge! To my amazement, I some how managed to not only finish my 2011 book challenge goal of 48 books but also read 5 extra books before the end of the year! A grand total of 53 books in all. Never before had I ever read that many books in a single year but with a bit of free time and power of will I managed to read more then my goal.

With that in mind I figured I would try my luck by turning it up a notch this year and see if I make it to 52 books this year.

Starting Date: 1.1.2012 till End Date: 12.31.2012

Book Types: Textbooks don't count but all other types of books and genres will not be excluded from the challenge. We'll see what happens this year!

Goals:
1.)Read 52 Books Before the end 2012
2.)I will try to only read books that I own or borrow from friends/family/libraries.
3.) No buying any new books until I've reached my 26th book.(Unless they are bought with trade credit at a used bookstore)
4.)I will only read two books at any given time. (Slow reads excluded)
5.) I want to try and read at least 5 Classic and 5 non-fiction books.
Classic Read:2-Out of 5
Non-Fiction Read:4-Out of 5



Total Books Read So Far: 52!!!!Done a month early!
