last year, i set a goodreads goal of 50 books (i set it halfway through the year, but it was still a goal!), and didn't even make it close.
but this is the year! this year of 2012 is MY YEAR!
not only am i going to the gym on a regular basis and eating healthier, but i am GOING to reach my goal of 50 BOOKS this year.
the most recent one i finished (and #4 book of the year) is a dystopian/science-fiction novel:
The Eleventh Plague
by Jeff Hirscsh
you can read more about the book at the official website HERE.
it's a pretty good read. it's in the same vein as some other young adult books i've been reading lately (e.g. The Hunger Games trilogy and Divergent), and i thought it was pretty decent. what made it such a great book is that it's scarily realistic. unlike some other science fiction books i've read, this one takes what we are right now, and follows it down the path we're creating for ourselves. it's not a pretty picture.
but this is one of the reasons i love science fiction, which is a pretty recent love, i have to admit. i avoided it for so long because i always felt there was some sort of stigma attached to it.
but you know what? i'm a nerd. and i embrace it wholeheartedly.
