I find television to be very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go in the other room and read a book. ~Groucho Marx

I wish I had done this differently. I have that little blurb on the right side of my blog with the last couple of books I read, but do you think I can remember EVERY book I read this year...nope. I wish I could. I've never kept track of how many books I've read in a year. I know one summer, when I was 14, I was in a reading contest and I had read over 150 during summer break...other kids' books were less than 150 pages....most of mine were into the 300-400 bracket.

Here's what I can remember from this year's reading:
