So, I managed to complete two of the challenges that I signed up to early this year. Not so bad, I suppose? However, I do realise that I read too much fantasy/paranormal books, so I am determine to balance my reading choices a little bit in 2011! Other than that, I am also looking forward to reduce the number of books that I have on my TBR shelf. 2010 has certainly be a great reading year for me as I managed to finished 115 books to-date and I'm hoping that this trend will continue next year.

So, what is your resolution for 2011 reading-wise? Is there something that you hope to improve?

Wish I'd Read That Challenge

I decide to take part in this challenge due to the presence of quite a bunch of neglected books on my shelf. I am hopeful that by participating in this challenge, that pile will be greatly reduced and I don't have to feel guilty for buying more books when the shelf I have is already overloaded!
