I intended to be much better about posting in 2010, but real life intervened with a vengeance.  Here are the 144 books that I read over the last year.  I've put an asterisk after the ones that I enjoyed (or two if I really loved it).  Please feel free to ask questions about anything you'd like to know more about.

angelicus, can you add "memoir" and "travelogue" to the tags? Thanks!

This was one I probably wouldn't have picked up if it hadn't been for my book club, but I'm glad I did. I, of course, would have stayed away because it had too much buzz. I'm snobby that way. Sometimes it's a good thing that book clubs can be so unoriginal.

Anyway, number 9 is Eat, Pray ( Read more... )
