The Humoungus what I read in 2007 post
It's taken me a long time to type, but here it is.
I haven't read as much this year as I did last year, for some reason. Other things on my mind, I suppose. This year, for the first time, I include a number of audio books, as I started listening to them in the car driving to work. The grand total for 2007 is only 62, which is well down on 2006. There were quite a few contemporary thrillers, mostly audio books, but not all, and I discovered the likes of David Baldacci and Michael Connolly for the first time. I also continued to read a number of Da Vinci Code rip offs, which were mostly less than stellar. I seem to have read very little non-fiction in 2007. I'm not sure why.
Anyway, on to 2008 and making a dent in Mt TBR!
