As you can see, most of what I read is young adult fantasy and still the majority comes from my library, which is just fine with me. This year, I would like to read more nonfiction and more adult books (probably "classics"). Other than that, I decided not to define specific goals (after all, I am participating in a few reading challenges this year; those are goals, right?).
Welcome to a new year of reading!
If you buy through my Amazon linkage, I will get a very small percentage

Wow! I'm impressed. I tried really hard to read 200 books this year, but only managed 185. Oh well. I'm gonna try again this year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I can't wait to see what you read in 2011.
Makes all my numbers pale in comparison! Wow. Amazing. Here's to another fabulous reading year!
ReplyDeleteSusan, I think this was probably the first year I've read over 200. I don't know if I'm up for it again this year, but I may not be able to help myself :)
ReplyDeleteSuey, it helps that I don't have kids, I think :)
You did amazingly this year! I'm very impressed and I loved your stats breakdown:)
ReplyDeleteAmused, thanks - I wanted to do about a million more categories, but it was too much work and I don't think anyone cares but me!
