One of my goals for 2012 is to read more that DOESN’T involve grad school or professional work. To keep track, I’ll periodically post here!
Goal Completed: 8/10
Here is a link to my GoodReads page.
Also, I will include New Yorker issues (even though a lesser goal is to read more fiction because I usually surround myself with non-fiction). As of 01/04/2012, I am dreadfully behind in reading them as life caught up to me first. But I will ever so slowly go through them!

Started 05/05/2012: The Prophet of Yonwood by Jeanne DuPrau

Finished 05/08/2012: The Diamond of Darkhold by Jeanne DuPrau
Started 05/08/2012: Catching Stories by Donna DeBlasio et al. (this is kind of cheating; it’s a book about oral histories which does relate to professional work/grad school, but oral histories aren’t exclusive to archivists!)
Finished 05/10/2012: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Yay, Jane Eyre!
It’s my “by-the-bedside” book and it’s ALMOST done! Yesterday when I was reading I think a spider fell on my head, or it was just my hair, so now I associate that scary feeling with Jane Eyre.
