books of 2012

i'm a fool and can't count... or type in the correct number it seems.

as it stands, 2 days left of the year... and i'm on 131 books read. last year (recalculated) is at 154. so i have 23 to read. i doubt im going to manage that tomorrow and the day after. (boo!!!) i have done will though!

i might set up a target system how does this seem?

<100 p="p" so-so="so-so">100 good
125 great
150 fab
175 awesome
200 improbable
200> impossible

Books 2012

I'm not going to manage it. i have 22 books to read in the next 12 days if i want to match Books of 2011. Books of 2012 will just not measure up! and i am working for the next 5 days straight and have just started a stupidly fat, yet incredibly interesting book by Bill Bryson (Made In America) which, is, like the others by him i have read before it- AWESOME. he is one author i know i will never be disappointed with!

120 down 36 to go and the 1920s

so its December 6th, ive learnt to make cocoa and i have 36 books to read to beat how many i read last year.

36 books in 25 days.

i might need to get some picture books...

in other news i had my hair cut for an event on Saturday, a Prohibition event. the hubby and i looked very very dapper. everyone was dressed up, the food was immense (and Nat, from Neaversons made me my very own gluten and dairy free versions of what everyone else was having!!!) so my hair was lovely and curly and had some stuff in that made it super strong. it really needed washing by Tuesday and as my hubby was ill i kept postponing it... On Wednesday it was ready to leave my head. i washed it. and it was almost 3 inches shorter! its lovely! I love my hairdresser.

This is us all dressed up for the WI Tea & Tarts Christmas Prohibition Party at Neaversons, Huddersfield

still lagging!

i still have 43 books to read before the new year to match how many i read last year...!
