Which brings my total read up to 47...I don't think that's too shabby...of course after reading some other people's blog (;-) You know who you are) it's rather pathetic...and I only have 1 kid. I didn't manage to even start the Outlander series, and only managed to read 1 book from the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die list, or the 2 from this year's NY Times bestseller list. Oh well.

I must say though...it was an awesome year of books, just chock full of all my old friends, whom I absolutely love! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed rereading the Little House books and Anne of Green Gables books. It was seriously like sitting down with a best friend, the best-of-the-best best friend, and spending time together. It was exciting to reread these books, and know that in 4 or 5 years I can start to share them with my daughter.

I haven't decided yet what my reading goals for 2011 will be....perhaps I should read a few of the books on my shelves that I keep getting (gotta love Paperbackswap.com) and haven't read yet.
