I read less books in 2011 than in 2010 as well. Maybe we read thicker, deeper books. I hope 2012 is your best year ever!
I have Moon Over Manifest on my iPod. I'm really looking forward to it being that I've seen it on a couple best reads of 2011 lists. :) Too bad you didn't give State of Wonder high billing cuz it's another one I've seen a lot of this year (and on my iPod). However (just looked it up), you gave it a 4/5, so that's still very good. :)
Happy New Year!
BTW - I thought I already commented here. Sorry if this is a duplicate.
Bravo!!!
I didn't complete HALF as many as you (as I crawl into a corner).
Oh well...I blame PTA! :)
Thanks for all the great info!
Still a very good number of books read last year!
Ps: Happy New Year!Do you have any reading goals for this year?
Thanks Tricia for keeping up with these book reviews. You are my number one source in books!
