It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila @ Book Journey.

Bloggish Business:

You guys! I’m already having the best time reading in 2013! I’m on an absolute tear, just readin’ up all the books I can get my greedy little hands on.

I’ve set a Goodreads goal of 125 books for this year. I’ve also made this pledge on The Savvy Reader. I like these “challenges” because I don’t have to think about them. I just read. Big whoop. I’d be doing that anyway.

One of the coolest ideas ever is to map your reading. <~~ Seriously, you want to check that out.

I don’t know! I’ve been letting my moods and whims pick what I read. It’s FABULOUS.

Where I’ve Been, Where I’m Going

One of my favorite things about reading has always been the ability to visit other lands that I’ll probably never   physically travel to. I can walk the streets of New York without changing out of my pajama pants. I can explore the shops of Beverly Hills while waxing my upper lip. I can bicycle throughout Italy without washing my hair!

When I saw this post from Meg I knew I had to steal borrow her idea. She kept track of the main settings of the books she read in 2012 on Google Maps. Isn’t that brilliant!?

I’ll be doing the same for the books I read in 2013. It’s only January 11th and I’ve already been to China, Ireland and Germany. Not too shabby right?

Every day I’m travelin’ 

If you’d like to see where I’ve been you can check out my map HERE. I’ll be updating frequently and I’ll probably slap something up in the sidebar too. Let me know if you plan on doing something similar! (I think you should, because it’s pretty awesome.)
