51 books! That's up a bit from the last two years - 45 in 2009 and 45 in 2010 - and up quite a bit from only 27 in 2008. I keep track of them on WeRead - both on facebook and on the WeRead website when the facebook app doesn't seem to be working - and don't actually total them up until the end, so it's always a surprise.
I'm not sure I'll include the links again, because that took a lot of time. However, if you happen to click any of my links and buy the books from Amazon, they say they'll pay me a small percentage, so maybe it's worth it. Also, I think links are quite handy for finding out more about any books that might sound interesting, and I very much like including the covers of a few of the books.
January is only half over, so my list isn't really late... How many books did you read in 2011?
Great list! I will have to check out The Adventure of English book!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed that one - and This Book Is Overdue!: How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All
ReplyDeleteActually, I enjoyed most of the books on my list. There were a couple that weren't so great... Next year maybe I should figure out some kind of rating system, too.
Since I got the Nook Tablet for Christmas, I'm back to reading for enjoyment again. I LOVE IT! I didn't realize how much I missed reading. Only bad thing is that as soon as I finish a book, I immediately want another. LOL Didn't realize until I owned a Nook that the B&N Nook books are more expensive than Amazon's Kindle books. :-(
