2010 Books in Review

It's official: I read 62 books in 2010.

Note: See my 2008 books here and my 2009 books here. 

62 books. Awesome. I think only one of these was a young person book, too.

There was a noticeable decline in reading (heh...and blogging) in November and December - most of my free attention went toward Christmas knitting. I did a boatload of Christmas knitting.

There are other books that I started but put down. Probably half a dozen or so.

I think I'll aim for 75 in 2011!
