So, I’m taking on this meme I’ve seen–more like a challenge, really–called 52 Books in 52 Weeks, in which one attempts to…read 52 books in one year. I’ve always been a bookworm, but with knitting, crocheting, sewing, work, and life in general, I’ve slacked off quite a bit (though you wouldn’t think this, if you’ve seen my book stash). This is my attempt to get back into bookworming.
And this is where I’ll document all the books I’ve read week by week, along with my thoughts and general musings on each one.
Wish me luck!

I didn’t meet my goal of reading 52 books in 2009, but I tried…and read some really good books along the way. 
I read 67 books last year but I barely knit anything. I think I’ll try this as well to keep up with the reading as well.
I’m glad to see yet another blogger tackle the book-a-week challenge, and post the reviews to match. I’ve been doing it since June, and it’s the most rewarding blogging exercise I’ve done. I’ll be watching your feed – keep it up!
