1. When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris

I bumped up my goal of 60 books to 75 for the year, but here is the catch. I am still going to read, with my eyes, 60 books but will then do at least 15 audio books. Got it? Good.

I said that I am going to become a YA expert so here are some of the books I am looking forward to:

I have also been hording books with "summer" or "beach" in the title for the months of June-August. I have at least 10 in the queue. It's going to be rad. It has been my experience that books with "summer" in the title are usually pretty awesome, ie. Summer Sisters and the Last Summer of You and Me.

Stolen from Cori.

My goal was to read 52 books this year. Read with my eyes, 52 books this year, so I actually did not make it:( It is probably the most books I have ever read in a year though, so that's awesome. I think I am going to go for 60 books this year, even though I did not make it. That is five a month. Very doable. I have also decided to become a Young Adult expert, so that is all I will be reading.
