Book List

One of the items from my 35 things before 36 list was to keep track of how many books I read within a year and blog about it....well a little past a year but I'm finally getting around to posting my list.  Good Reads has to be one of my favorite sites to track my books.  I actually doubled my number from last year for this year but sadly I'm making slow progress.  So much so that the tracker decided to admonish me with little tidbits like "you need to hurry up on your goal" and this one today "you're 16% behind"  Hey I read for enjoyment so what if that last title I read was a young adult novel that was seriously only a half inch thick and took me a month to get around to finishing (not read mind you - that I accomplished in an hour).  And 16% of what I ask you?  Stupid algorithm.  I have this bad habit of getting too wrapped up in one thing and every other hobby be damned.  Sadly photography and reading have taken a hit as of late but I'm hoping to change that (along with my blogging)  So here's what I read (39 books total) in 2010.
