Determined to read!

I love books, I really do. Unfortunately due to work and other commitments reading sometimes has to take a back seat and I don't think the books I read to the kids at school can really count. This year so far I've read 22 books which isn't bad but it's not as many as I'd hope to read! A book a week if not more would be my ideal target, particularly with the hundreds of books I want to read in my lifetime already and more to add each year! I would like to make my way through both adults' and children's books whether best sellers or winners of awards, or merely from one of the many lists that someone somewhere has compiled as books we should all read in our lifetimes.

As a kind of incentive, and a record, I'm aiming to keep a blog (along with my Goodreads account) to remind myself of what I've read, what I've enjoyed and if there's anything else I might read.

If I do any writing myself (I keep toying with the idea) I'll try and make a record of that too. 

On top of reading, I teach Reception and make cards for family and friends so I'm pretty busy. Just hoping that I'll manage to keep going with this reading plan and get through all the books I hope to!!
