For The Love of Books is a blog that I dedicated for my love of books, my everyday journey of reading books, sharing recommendations on books to read and just share a review of what I thought of the books that I've read. And occassionally, there will be some things unrelated to books, but it will mostly be about my love of books.. Enjoy..

I haven't been posting in this blog for a long time. So this would be my first posting in 2011. I know it's a little late, but I would like to wish everyone a wonderful New Year and may this year brings luck, peace and happiness and I really really hope that my wish will come true this year.

Last year, I set up a goal for myself to read 50 books in 2010. Since then, and because of Goodreads, my reading have improved substantially. I usually only managed to read 1 - 2 books a month, which makes a total of 24 books a year, or 30 books at the most, so it was good to challenge myself to get me back to my reading speed to my college days.

And yet, I managed to close the goal for 2010 with 76 books... :) Thanks to Goodreads for keeping me motivated to read more books and buy more books. Now I have a ton of to be read books.

So that's quite an achievement for me last year.

This year, Goodreads have a section on each reader's reading challenge for 2011 and as for me, this year I'm challenging myself to read 100 books.. This is part of my new year's resolution to read more. And I would like to end this post with a quote from Dr Seus:

"The more that you read, the more things you'll know.
The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
