30 Books in 2013

30 books in one year?

That is a lofty goal for someone who only finished 17 books in 2012.

But 30 books a year is about 2.5 books per month, which seems doable.

This is my list.  There are not 30 books on it.  I'll leave some room for extras since I am in 2 book clubs and I never know what will be chosen by the group from month-to-month. 

Here is what I am planning to read in 2013.

Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
