Resolved

It is my New Year's resolution not to make any more reading resolutions. I'm just setting myself up for failure. Last year, I resolved to read less commercial fiction and more classics and literary fiction. I did make an attempt at this, but I still feel like most of what I read this year was fluff. I also wanted to read more books than I did last year. I signed up for The Year of Readers to raise money for Room to Read, so I wanted to read as much as I could. But I only read 99 books this year (78 print and 21 audiobooks). That's down from 108 books last year and 125 the year before! How can that be? I feel like I'm always reading. In any case, no more reading pressure. I'm just going to read what I want, when I want.
