My 100 Book Challenge

I’m a book whore. It’s ok I can admit it. I flit from book to book, genre to genre heck even author to author on a daily basis. I buy books like junkies buy crack cocaine. But it stops now. Here is the line.

You see, I have a Kindle. A wonderful gift that I received from my even more wonderful mother a few years ago; I have so many books on said kindle that I probably won’t be able to read them in a life time.

So, today I made myself a deal. I chose 100 books from my kindle. 100 books which will be interspersed with my review books and NetGalley downloads to be read.  Won’t buy another Kindle book until then…well that is what I told myself. However, I am a realist (I’m also a romantic but that is another story), I know I won’t be able to stick to that promise. So my new promise is that unless the book has had a substantial decrease in price I will not buy it. Seems fair I think.

Then by the time I have finished the chosen 100 books I will be able to add them to the next list.

I present you, my lovely readership, with my 100 books. Please feel free to let me know your opinions on the books from the list that you have read.
