a few of those books I started reading at least 2 years ago and either they are just really slow reads or I lost interest when we moved TN.

I am going to try and read all of these books before starting another book. This will be hard, I just downloaded something like another 12 books onto my kindle. Which, holy moly, is the greatest thing ever. I totally fought against the idea of a kindle for a while because "I like reaaaal book" but you know what I like more than real books, actually reading books. With two kids, it is so much easier to just pick up my kindle for a sneak read here and there because it seems easier to conceal than a real book. Me sitting down with a real book is like wearing a neon sign that says "COME PULL THIS BOOK FROM MY HANDS" ha.
Also, because I do read so many books at once, I don't have to worry about lugging them all around with me at the same time. The kindle fits so easy into my bag, that I always have something to read.

So there you go, what I am reading right now.

What are you reading? Do you have a kindle, are you on the fence about getting one? (because really, you should just get one)


Also, if you scroll down a bit and look on the left hand side bar over here, you will notice I added two widgets from goodreads. One is a list of all the books I am currently reading as well as my book challenge for 2012. I tried a book challenge for 2011 and read one book out of however many I wanted too. So this year I went for 10, and beat that, and now I am going for 20. Except I have also beat that now that I finished adding the dates to my read books. :)
