read 12 books in 12 months. i am happy to say that for the first time in my life, i may have finally kept* a resolution. explanation for the asterisk can be seen below.
1. perfume, the story of a murderer
2. cold sassy tree
3. the reader
4. the elegance of the hedgehog
5. the time traveler's wife (don't judge me, i didn't realize it was gonna be a chick novel when i started)
6. a confederacy of dunces
7. naked
8. brave new world
9. stiff, the curious lives of human cadavers
10. gourmet rhapsody
*11. the fantastic mr. fox (it was december when i finished gourmet rhapsody, and i was starting to get worried i wouldn't get to the magic #12, so i cheated with a children's book. whatever, it's still a book, so it counts.)
12. the amazing adventures of kavalier and clay (currently reading. this is quite a long book, but at least there is plenty of time to finish)
this year's resolution:
i am starting early. i want to learn 24 new songs on the guitar, which i am not quite proficient at. i can play chords, i can strum, i can pluck strings, but not much else. i decided to start this blog with one of my favorite christmas songs, greensleeves/what child is this. i've added my own arrangement, played in a different style. i'm not satisfied with it, especially because it sounds rushed and choppy, but hopefully by next year i will have improved significantly.
