This is my first year taking part in this challenge. What i like about this challenge is that it has several different genres to read, some that i wouldnt always read, like travel writing.
Books Read in 2011
1)The Group – Mary McCarthy This wasnt a book i enjoyed at all, i just couldnt get into it.
2)The Fellowship of the Ring – J.R.R. Tolkien I really liked this book, the best of the trilogy in my opinion
3)Day of the Triffids – John Wyndham I really enjoyed this book, one to read again
4)Reading Lolita in Tehran – Azar Nafisi I didnt think i would enjoy this book, but it was one of my favourite reads of the year.
5)The Murder of Roger Ackroyd – Agatha Christie My first book by this author, and i loved it. I want to read more now.
Well, i only managed 5, which does need improving next year. So my target for next year is 7.

It is fun to read books outside our comfort zone.
it is indeed, you never know what you might come across!
I also want to read an Agatha Christie book. Don’t feel bad about what you’ve read and haven’t read. Just enjoy your time reading. 🙂
the book i read by her was really good, i hope that others are just as good 🙂
I think im going to enjoy my reading more this year and not see it as a target to hit
