A happy and healthy holidays to you both! I know I've been the terribly weak link in this badass book club - forgive me? I'm resolved to be better - resolute in fact, and hence one of my resolutions is to finish 28 books in 2012 - a little over a book every two weeks. I've made a tentative goal list, pasted below in no particular order - some new ones I received for Christmas, the next in two series I'm reading, some recommendations and classics I've never gotten around to, and a few unread by my favorite authors (Steinbeck, Austen, Woolf, Fitzgerald). It's still in the planning stages, so you guys could either join me for the whole shebang as is, or I can alter this to add in things y'all want to read. Let me know what you think! I know it's ambitious, but I think it's doable!
Hope you both had an amaaazing break. I'm so not looking forward to getting back to the grind. Also resolving to travel more - visits with each other in the future? Skype dates at the least.
