annual book list

[toxic_corn]

Every year I keep track of what books I've read and then post the titles online. I used to keep the lists at my GreatestJournal but since the site went tits up, I'll have to post this year's list here. Maybe I'll end up backdating my older lists because I'm anal enough to want them all in one place. So without further ado, here is this year's list! It's much sadder than previous years and I'm disappointed at how few I read but hey, there's always this year.

Wow, I have not read ANY of those. Go girl! If I made a list it would be full of mom-sanity books, trashy romances, and the last Harry Potter. Yes, I'm pathetic. :)

Ha, well most of mine are fantasy books. I usually read close to 80 in a year but this year I didn't even make 60. :( Harry Potter is featured in my past lists.

That's pretty impressive. I read so much for school that I wouldn't dream of reading for pleasure. I wish I could, though. It's such a smart person thing to do.

I alternate reading textbooks and fun books so I'm able to squeeze it in.

Oh, you keep a list too?

Not a physical list. Just looking back over what I've read over the year.

And it's pretty much all paranormal trashy romance too! I should really be ashamed, but somehow I'm not...
