Pages per day: 13
Goal: WOW. December was a very very busy month and it flew by so quickly. Even though we had winter break, I was not able to read as much as I wanted to because of all that was going. I did manage to read at least 1 book which I really really liked, this was one of the first books I read about mental illness and I think the author did a great job putting this book together through using alternating view points between the two main characters. My goals for January is the same as last month which is to not give up reading no matter how hard it gets!

Days in November: 30
Pages per day: 20
Goal: I was able to accomplish my goal in November by finishing reading Eat Pray Love and another book. I really enjoyed reading Eat Pray Love because I was able to walk through the charterers journey with her. The plot of Remember Me allowed me to understand the perspective of a women who is a boss and the challenges she faces along with a romantic twist which I found very interesting. Overall, I would say this month was not successful. It is getting challenging to keep up with the reading as exams are approaching fast. Therefore, my goal for December is not to give up reading completely and try to read at least 15 pages/day.

Goal: October was a very busy and stressful month for me. I was not able to accomplish my goal of completely reading 2 books. Both of the books I read this month were very interesting.

My goal for November is to finish reading Eat Pray Love and read another book little more challenging than the books I have read previously.
