2010: A Year in Books

At the beginning of this year I made one very simple New Year's Resolution: to read more novels. Being a slow reader who has a hard time concentrating, I set what I felt to be a realistic and reasonable goal of 25 books, since previous goals of 50 had never come close to working out. I am proud to say that not only did I meet this goal, I exceeded it having finished a total of 32 novels this year. Now if only I had written that many!

( A brief recap of the books I enjoyed for those who might be interested. )

I am now finishing the year as I began it: reading a Charles De Lint novel. I thought about setting an even higher goal next year but I'm still debating, not wanting to bite off more than I can chew. In 2010 I read more books than in any other year of my life and that feels pretty good. I've got most of my reading for next year already laid out anyway so I plan to just read it and then see how much more I can squeeze in after it's done. Happy New Year!
