2010 Projects – A Book a Week

One thing I started a few months ago was to get back into the habit of reading a book each week. Doing this helped me remember how much I like reading and how happy it makes me. I really enjoy the arts and crafts, too but reading has a special place in my heart. So for 2010 I decided to continue my “a book a week” goal. Some weeks I on’t get to finish it and that’s ok but I know that I will read a whole lot more if I set this goal.

With that, here is my current list of books. They’re alphabetically sorted and you’ll see most of them are fiction. The ones with the star at the end are non-fiction. The little “a” in the paranthesis is a link to amazon, mostly for me since I like to read about the book each week when I am choosing my next book.
