I am an incredibly slow reader so I’m pretty proud of myself right now! I read 35 books in 2009 and so far, I’ve reviewed 28 of those. Click on the links to go straight to the reviews.
Unfortunately, I neglected to review all of the non-fiction books I read which is going to be a bit dry!! I will probably review them over at A Passion to Understand and then do one post linking over to them.
Having achieved this, I almost feel confident aiming for 50 books this year!

ReplyDeleteAny reason you didn't finish Interview?
Nice work, some great picks in there too. I read the Trial years ago and it still haunts me. I read very quickly, but these days I can't get myself to sit still and read unless I'm flying somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI scanned all the books you've read and I realized that I haven't read any of it hehehe... I love reading too :D esp. Nicholas Sparks, Khaled Hosseini, Mitch Album novels/books and the likes and I also love Sci-fi :) and young adults books lolz stuck to my childhood days hahaha...
ReplyDeleteAnyways, thanks for visiting and commenting on my site...
I've read about 5 of these and a few others by the same authors. I'm off to find out what you made of them :-)
ReplyDelete35 is impressive. I've just had a quick count up and I read about 15 last year.
@ Vanessa: Hiya! Yes, t was just making me miserable! The characters had just arrived in France and I realised I'd rather be bored during my train ride home than carry on reading it!! My friend warned me you either love it or you hate it when she gave it to me!
ReplyDelete@ Brent: Ha! I spent 90 minutes on trains a day so I get lots of reading done. I love trains and I love my "me" time.
@ Lagawan: I'm thinking of reading a Khaled Hosseini next!
@ John: Cool - we seem to have a very similar taste in books!
