For the last few years, I’ve enjoyed reading the posts of several bloggers who are trying to read 52 books in 52 weeks. I’ve also wanted to find a good way for me to keep track of the books I’ve read.
Last year, I decided to try to do the 52 books in 52 weeks meme (and encourage others to do so). I made it to 63, which seemed pretty good. Here’s the post with the 2009 list.
I’m doing the same thing in 2010. My approach is the same as last year – I’ll simply update this specific post from time to time throughout the year as I finish books.
