Book Worm

One of my recent goals for the year is to read. I *hope* to read 20 books by the end of the year. I think that's doable, even for unmotivated, lazy me. I started off the year by reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter. It was good, not totally what I expected and was a bit bummed at the end. I wanted to know more of the story. The next book up was Skinny Dip. This book was very funny, I seriously laughed out loud quite a few times. After finishing that one I started Baghdad without a Map. I haven't gotten very far into it yet. It is funny and interesting, but there doesn't seem to be much of a story line. Mainly just his notes from traveling. I will pick it up again as soon as I finish my current read. The Pilot's Wife. It was good, only took me two days to read. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I had to know what happened. Last but not least my current book, which so far is my favorite The Glass Castle. I am loving it so far, and hope to finish it this weekend.
I have a few other books in mind to read next. Water for Elephants, Love in the Time of Cholera, Eat Pray Love, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Into the Wild, Middlesex, The Lovely Bones and The Good Earth. That should get me through like September...If you have any other suggestions, please leave them in a comment!!
