Twelve Months, Twelve Books

I’m not a fan of New Year’s Resolutions, for two reasons.   In the past I have set unrealistic goals (I will never, ever say “@#%&*!” again!) or because I simply forget I made a resolution  to begin with (Mommy Brain).  This year, however, I came up with a goal, not a random idea as in years past but a pursuit born of something I have wished to accomplish for some time:  read more books.  My nightstand is perpetually piled with reading material and my reading list expands every time I peruse the book reviews in a magazine or walk through a bookstore.  In other words, I read slower than I write!

So, in 2014, my goal is to read a book a month (or twelve books by December 31st) and the ones I read with my daughter’s first grade class don’t count!  Also, I will be adding  a new page to pulseonparenting.com entitled “Twelve Books in 2014” giving a brief synopsis of each book as I go.  Putting my reading out in cyberspace will keep me honest.  And keep me reading.  Feel free to comment on the books you are familiar with or chose to read yourself!
