I generally don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions since most of the time they’re given up on within a week or two. So, this isn’t a resolution, but instead a goal for 2010. Since I’m a complete book nerd anyways it should be a fairly easy goal to accomplish. So here it is, my plan for 2010 is to read a book each week and then post a short review on here. I was also very fortunate to receive a Kindle for Christmas from my parents so that should make it easier to keep going especially while traveling this year. This time when I pack up my bags to head back to Korea in the spring I won’t need to fill half of a suitcase with books, I’ll just pack my kindle. I’m pretty open to reading any type of book so if you have a favorite that you think I should read send me a recommendation and I’ll add to my reading list. Just click on the links before to see what I think of the books I read.
