Reading 50 books in 2007 was, um, not so much of a success. I mean, yes, I did get through 40 (actually 41 since I only have about 5 pages left in Death Note Vol 5 and will count it towards the 2007 list), but of those 40 books only 7 were actual books. So, 33 of those books were manga or graphic novels. And those 7 novels I read? All Harry Potter. I feel kind of lame. And by "kind of" I actually mean "a lot."

I'm once again shooting for the 50 books, but this year I'm adding one stipulation: I have to read at least 12 books that do not contain pictures and are not fandom-related.

Yay for promotion of literacy!
