books!!

Hellllllooo summer holidays. Classes are done, exams are done, school is done. Well, 'till next Monday at least. Pysch, but only for 3 weeks, starts and ends in May. But regardless, I'm still rejoicing the end the finals.

So now what shall I do? I'm not sure who is more afraid of what will happen when I have no school work to do: my mother or myself. Hopefully I can burn off some mental energy reading.

Speaking of which, I think it would neat to see how many books I can finish this summer. My summer break consists of 18 weeks - oh my, that seems so long! - and I think I could really burn through some good material by the time fall rolls around.

So here is the plan: read a book every week, then blog about it.
Guidlines: Rereads are acceptable, but it can't be one from this summer.
And 200 of the 201 pages in the book can't be filled with pictures. That's just silly.
What do you think - is it possible? I definitely think so.

However, I will set my goal at 16, for a few reasons: One, I have a three-week course in May. I may struggle to finish 3 novels in that time span. And secondly, if I reread the Harry Potter series, which I intended on doing, a few 700+ page books may be a tad more time consuming than other reads. That being said, it is 700 pages of absolute magic, so I may be alright...

There it is! My goal for the summer.

PS - any good book suggestions???
