People always ask me what have I been up to. And I always answer with the ubiquitous "work" or "nothing", but THIS is what I've been up to in 2012. Most people wouldn't see the value in reading a lot. And I understand that this year I've read more than most years. So I keep it all close to the vest. Except here, where most people I know don't visit. Yes, technically reading is part of my job, but I love doing this. Sure I'm living vicariously through these stories, but I am happy. And isn't that what really matters?! I've not yet hit my Goodreads Reading Challenge of 100 new books in 2012, so I still have more less than 30 to go on that front.
