My 50 Challenge Books 2012

Here are all the books I've read in 2012. The challenge was to read 50 books and I did achieved that this year -- yay! So the next challenge for me was to try for another 50 books but I stopped at 18 books. I'm happy that I read a total of 68 books this year. It's a lot more than what I've read last year 2011.

My goal for 2013 is to challenge myself to read 50 books. And hopefully try for another 50. Maybe 100 total by the end of year.
