As much as I enjoy reading actual books,  it’s one of those activities that’s never really urgent (especially with the advent of informative blogs/online articles), so I’ve rarely gotten around to it outside of classes in the past couple of years.

Figured I probably never will if I don’t set some sort of rule for myself, so setting the goal of reading three books a month (not counting how-to reference books for learning specific skills):

– one in my field (design/user experience/software development)
– one novel
– one random, preferably in a subject I don’t know much about

I’ll probably write my thoughts on some of them here, but otherwise mini reviews can be found on Pinterest.
