Happy New Year!!

Happy 2012 everyone!!! Hope everyone had a great new year's eve, and that the hangovers today aren't too bad ;)

haha.

Last couple weeks I was desperately reading in the hopes that I could meet my 125 books goal. Sadly, I was 3 books short of that goal. This is why I haven't been posting. I'm hoping to get all those book reviews written and posted soon.

This year's reading goal is 125 again, but I'm really hoping to hit 130.

3 books short! That has to be so frustrating! You can at least be proud you got so far. My goal was to read 112 this year (1 more than last year). I only hit 65! Miserable failure for me...lol.

I love getting comments! I'm always checking to see if I have any new comments. It's actually pretty sad how often I check for them really. So if there is anything you want to say about a post of mine, please say it! I want feedback :)

As of lately, I'm making the blog a no-award blog. I love getting them and I'm always honored, but I don't have the time to do all the things that are required of them. Sorry :(
Also, my "reply" button does not seem to be working in my comments on my computer. I have to use a different computer to reply back so if I don't reply, it's not because I'm rude, it's just that I can't.
