I sometimes get a little discouraged when I compare how many books I read with others, but it's definitely not a competition! I don't know how you manage to read even 10 books a year with your jobs and kiddos! Anyways--happy 2009 and best of luck with your goals!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048221087572023485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-49513554375246171242009-01-08T10:05:00.000-06:002009-01-08T10:05:00.000-06:00i totally agree with your new years goal of not st...i totally agree with your new years goal of not stressing too much about reading. whats the point? as you say, its meant to be fun!<BR/><BR/>very glad that you liked "neverwhere" and "the secret history so much"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-10942851364634768062009-01-08T07:30:00.000-06:002009-01-08T07:30:00.000-06:00Have fun...that's the best possible goal!!!And 50+...Have fun...that's the best possible goal!!!<BR/><BR/>And 50+ books is incredible! I read slightly more, but that's only because I had to read so much for homeschooling. <BR/><BR/>I just have no desire to try the Twilight books, but I'm really anxious to read The Host...mostly because of your review. :)<BR/><BR/>Fingers crossed for a great birthday haul!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-16207892772716857212009-01-07T21:56:00.000-06:002009-01-07T21:56:00.000-06:0051 books is amazing, especially with working 2 job...51 books is amazing, especially with working 2 jobs and having 3 kids! I got 60 read, so I say we just blame the kids lol and keep aiming for 100. At least we're improving! I have to do my wrap-up post for last year still, but was doing the totals tonight in my journal. I love your list, and hey- some years, non-fiction is hard to read. I'm trying to add it consciously now, but my first escape is always mystery and fantasy. Happy New Year Stephanie, and I hope things get better for you - work etc- and your family - may this be a good year for you!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-76878032600094277282009-01-06T12:01:00.000-06:002009-01-06T12:01:00.000-06:00I'd say that is pretty good with your schedule.

Just thought you might want to add it to your wish list. :)<BR/><BR/>Last year was about the same for me, mostly all fantasy, quite a bit of non-fiction, and then everything else. :) I just didn't keep a very good record...<BR/><BR/>Happy Reading!
