Reading List 2009


This was the first year I faithfully tracked my reading habit via GoodReads.com. I had half-heartedly tried to remember what I’d read in 2008, but I know I missed a bunch. It’s interesting to look back and see what caught my interest and when. Regency Romances are my staple, go-to comfort reads, but I also like fantasy and this year I realized I liked some urban fantasy as well. I’ve also been reading more YA material to keep ahead and in touch of what my kids are reading. It scared me to realize that I averaged about 10 books a month this year. I’m hoping 2010 is a bit less stressful.

You can view my GoodReads shelf for this year (and others) with my ratings here.
