2012 Disappointment

Last December, 2011 I sat down and decided to try to read 100 books a month.  1200 is not such a huge amount of books, right?  After all, I'm a librarian.  I read books to kids every day, I read for pleasure and I read to keep updated on teaching and librarianship.  So, why was it SO hard to read that much? 

1.  I didn't count any of the books I read to the children. 
2.  I didn't count multiples unless separated by at least one week.
     (For example, I have 15 classes that come see me weekly, sometimes I read the same book 15 times by Friday...I didn't count that.  Sometimes, I'd love a book I was reading so much, I'd turn around and reread it immediately.  I didn't count that.)
3.   I only counted nonfiction if I actually read 95% of the book.

Boy, once 1000 came I was ready to STOP!!!  How annoying. 

So, I'm a disappointment to myself.  But I learned.  I love reading, but I'm not going to force myself to read for the sake of it ever again.
