100 Books in 2011: The Wrap-Up
I ended up reading 117 books in 2011. Due to some exciting professional developments, I did very little reading in December, but I still read 55 more books than I did last year. Feels good.

And please email me if you are doing a reading plan this year! I can’t recommend it enough. I’m giving myself until the end of the week to decide what I’m doing about 2012—I’ve been joking that my goal is “0 Books in 2012”—but I already have one under my belt. Happy reading!
