50 Books, 50 Pounds, and 50 Weeks


Last year I took on the challenge to read 50 books before 2008 was over. That's roughly a book a week. I tracked the challenge on a fun website called Shelfari. I completed that challenge and surpassed it with great satisfaction. I also kept track of the number of pages, but stopped tracking as I crossed over 20,000. This year I'm going to repeat that challenge. My twist on it this year will be to track not only the titles, but how much they weigh. I want my body to go down by 50 pounds in the next 50 weeks at I want my books to add up 50 pounds. Hmmm....more hardbacks I think.
