2011 Reading Recap

At the beginning of 2011, my one and only New Year's Resolution was to try to read more.  I failed.

Oh I read quite a bit, and once again the trend continued towards higher page-count novels than in previous years, but this year my total book count dropped from 41 books to just 27 - and that's counting the one I'm in the middle of now!  So really only 26.

Now, by most peoples' standards two books a month is pretty good, but for some reason I feel slightly disappointed.  It's a feeling that I'm just going to have to get over though, as my life is busier, fuller, and more satisfying than it has been in the past, and while that might mean slightly less time for reading, it also means more time spent with the boyfriend and the bird and other friends, and generally living!  So really I guess that's not such a bad thing!

On the off chance that anyone is interested, here's the list of books I read in 2011:
