I have had a super slow start to the new year in blogging this year. Mainly because I have been crazy busy with work and over the holidays I had no access to the internet to post..
I thought I would get the ball rolling just by posting a list of the books I read last year. I didn't do to badly!
The top of the list is the book I completed most recently.
I am typically not a fan of New Years Resolutions, but I have decided this year if I HAVE a resolutions is is that I am not going to finish every book that I start. To be a little more clear - I have always had this "thing" about finishing books. I will finish a book no matter what. If I start something I don't like it just holds me up because I dawdle and dilly dally and dont just put it down and move on. It is RARE that I don't finish a book. I think in my lifetime it has happened two or three times but I can only actually recall one book by name that I didn't finish... so ANYWAY. This year I resolve to spend my reading time reading books I LIKE and not wasting my time on books I don't like.
Anywhoo.

Hey Julie,
Hope you had a fantastic holiday. Glad to see you are back...was starting to wonder if you fell off the edge of the Earth or something. I think your resolution is the best that anyone could possibly have. Guilt free reading. Don't waste your time with crap!!
Good job!
The only one on your list I've read is #98 (years ago).
Holy Cow! Whenever did you find time to read all of those amongst all your courses and studying and to do list projects and family....?!
We have similar titles in our reading lists over the last few years. You've got 2 of my absolute favorites on here - The Book of Lost Things and The Help. I also really enjoyed The Housekeeper and the Professor. I've had Stiff on my list for a while - did you enjoy that one? It sounded so bizarrely interesting.
I am amazingly impressed with myself at how much I read but I have to attribvute it to the fact that I read a LOT of young adult titles which are quick and easy reads for me. I doubt I will ever read that much in a year again.
