I'm Katie. I'm 19 and I live my life one year at the time.
This year's theme is Live, Learn, Read, Zen, Heal.
This year I am going to...

Live each day to the fullest. I will stop to smell the roses and take the time it takes to truly enjoy being alive. I'll take tons of pictures, make loads of memories and I promise to spontaneously be spontaneous.
Learn new things every day. I'm going to college to study Psychology, Music, Photography and whatever else tickles my fancy.
Read over 100 books between 12/22/2010 and 12/22/2011. I've already made a list of 130 books and as 2011 moves along, this list will continue to grow.
Zen my entire life. I am going to meditate, get in touch with my spiritual self and find equilibrium and peace in all aspects of my life. This year I will love and be loved.
Heal inside and out; others as well as myself. I will continue my goal from last year; to become a healthy, athletic individual with focus, strength and flexibility in mind and body. I'm going to take care of myself this year and help somebody if I can.

If somewhere along the way I happen to find out where I fit into this world... that would be fantastic. If not, no biggie.
I've got all the time in the world.

I still live in the house where I grew up in North Carolina.
I love to sing, write, read, play with horses and take pictures.
I spend most of my time in solitude or with my family and animals.

The books that are Marked have been read. I'm going to repost an updated version of this list every month. Plus, I'll post what books I've read every now and then. This list will continue to grow!

The Rules



  • A book can not be on the list if I have read it before. All these books are new to me.
  • The length of this challenge is exactly one year and marks books read in between the dates of 12/22/2010 and 12/22/2011.
  • I have to read each book all the way through or it will not count. If I get into a book and decide that I hate it, it will be removed from the list and another one added in it's place.
  • I have to read at minimum one hundred books in the allotted time period.
  • I have to enjoy myself (and I promise, I will!)
Let the games BEGIN!
