This week's question is: Go count the number of unread books sitting on your shelf. How many?

MY ANSWER: Ugh...I hate having to count!

I think I have around 52...a few of my books are compilations of 3 novels in 1 book. Which I know is probably not anywhere near as many as everyone else has!! But it is a lot to me! I am a little anal with books, yet when my dear dear Borders closed this past year I did go a little crazy and buy a few of the books I had been thinking about, when they're 50% off it's hard to say no!

Of course the number will likely be going up when or if I can find my books I need to buy this week. Counted the ones that will be in my IMM as well. Bad part is that one or two are Kindle books I bought but cannot read yet until I get my Kindle hooked back up to my wireless. My cousin should be coming out this weekend and hopefully he can fix it for me!

TGIF is a weekly feature created and hosted by GReads! that re-caps the week’s posts and has different question each week.

This week's question is: Reading Resolutions: What are some of your reading goals for the new year?

MY ANSWER: Ooh good one! I actually decided to take on 2 reading challenges this year and they definitely will present a challenge since I now have a job--part time, but still it takes up a good chunk of my reading hours! But anyways I decided to take on the 2012 TBR Reading Challenge and knock off about 21-30 books from 2011 and earlier!
 

My second challenge is The Jumbo Sized YA Reading Challenge where I plan to tackle at least 40 books in the YA genre! I may even be able to kill two birds with one stone and read a 2011 YA book! Not sure if I'll do that exactly! But we'll see how the year goes!! Those are my challenges this year!
