cOuNtDoWn 4 bOoKs!

Goal of 2010


(Skip to the Book List)

Dear Reader,
This blog isn't just any blog that just randomly writes some sort of writing that I think would look "cool." This blog is a specific blog in which it has specific assignments over a certain period of time. Each page has a meaning, and I'll tell you, some of them are Goal Tabs, or to speak in an understandable language, pages where I write about the Goal that I made during a certain period of time.
This is the first goal made, the very first, of this blog.
Of course, the title of the goal is cOuNtDoWn 4 bOokS!

In the year of 2009, I had made this blog, most likely inspired by a movie called  "Julie and Juliet," an old-time movie about how a person makes a blog on cooking, etc... for more info go to Google and search "Julie and Juliet."

Anyhow, I saw the movie, and I had decided to make a blog, and like the blog in the movie, to have a goal and make it a 1-year span.

After much thinking, I came up with a goal to read at least 55 books this year. Since calculating that there are about 52 weeks in a year and I read about a book a week, maybe more, I thought why not round up to make the goal that much better and that much more challenging?
So it came to the decision of the rule of cOuNtDoWn 4 bOoKs! goal of 2010.

Now, this page, during 2010, was a page in which you would come and see all the books I'd read so far, and am reading...
but that passed.
So this is the log of the books I've read in the year of 2010.
I shall warn you, more like, tell you, that many of these books are very good books, and a good deal of them have a well-written review by me, of course. If you'd like to view them, either search it up through my blog's search, or go to the label "cOuNtDoWn 4 bOoKs" and look for it there, but I'd suggest the blog's search, because then it's faster.

Anyhow,
Welcome!

Happy returns of the day to you,
Celine, Administrator of LoVe, ReAd, wRiTe!
