So behind on my reading 50 books this year

All right, I just found a list of books I made for myself and planning to read 50 books in a year. I am not certain this goal will happen, I am soooooooooo behind. Read: Twilight New Moon Eclipse Breaking Dawn The Tales of Beedle the Bard Fantastic Beast and Where to Find them Quidditch throught the Ages The Alchemist The Magician The Sorceress His Dark Materials (three books) The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe Charlotte's Web The Hunger Games Catching Fire The Return of The Little Prince Looking for Alaska An Abundance of Katherines Paper Towns Let It Snow Reading: Harry a History The Lost Symbol Missing Time Planning to read: Wicked and Cursed Inkheart Eragon Ten Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Prince Caspian Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Through the Looking Glass Wicked Son of a Witch Sadly I may have to accept defeat, there is no way I can reach that goal. Moral of the story, set a smaller goal next time. Sigh. Unless a miracle was to happen.

A Bookworm's List

I am making myself a list of the books I read so far, currently reading and the ones I am planning to read later on. Just a way to keep track because I have this habit of reading more than one book at once. Read: 1- Twilight 2- New Moon 3- Eclipse 4- The Tales of Beedle the Bard 5- The Alchemist 6- The Magician 7- His Dark Materials 8- The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe Reading: 1- Harry a History 2- Missing Time 3- Charlotte's Web 4- Breaking Dawn Planning to read: 1- The Sorceress 2- Wicked & Cursed 3- Inkheart (3) 4- Eragon (3) 5- Ten Thousand Leagues Under the Sea 6- Prince Caspian 7- Alice's Adventures in Wonderland 8- Through the Looking Glass 9- The Hunger Games Also I am looking forward to the sequel of The Hunger Games called Catching Fire which will come out September 2009.

The Hunger Game by Suzanne Collins.

I am currently reading this book. I originally heard about from other nerdfighters on youtube or reading blogs and when I was taking my usual walk through chapters, yes i do this a lot, I saw the book and couldn't resist getting it. This story depicts a US of the future where twelve district are controlled by reality TV. The Hunger Games feature glamorous opening ceremonies, sponsorship, personal interviews and end in a fight to the death. Normally district 12 tributes do not receive much attention but this time it all changed when Katniss volunteers to take the place of her little sister Prim in the games and Peeta declares his loves for her during the interviews. This is what I think of reality TV, people sometimes making fools of themselves on TV for the sole entertainment of the viewers. This is basically the reason I refuse to watch all the reality TV shows produced nowadays. Where is the creativity? It is all the same formula, plus I do not find people making fools of thems...
