2012 is ending and it’s time to take a look back. After doing the 52 Book Challenge in 2011, I had finally figured out what I wanted to do for a living. I started working on getting my degree this year and can’t wait until I finally get there. It will be a good feeling.

I read 80 books last year. I wanted to try for 100 this year.

I read 125.

Books have always been my way of escaping my real life. Having the ability to read a few words and be transported to somewhere else is why I love reading. I get fully engrossed and the real world fades away. It’s the best feeling in the world.

I wrote a book this year. It’s about the summer trips my grandparents used to take my sister, my cousin, and me on. It’s only for me and my family, but still…I wrote a book. Reading all these books throughout my life has given me a love of words and I finally feel comfortable enough to try my hand at writing the book I want to read.

So in 2013, my goals are to keep doing well in my classes, read 100 books again, and to write my own book. Those are pretty lofty goals, but I’m up for the challenge.

Thank you all for reading my reviews and I hope you all have a fantastic new year.
