-------------------------------------------------------
Well, you can see what finally got me going on reading this year. I have never been more in love with Harry Potter than I am right now! I got to re-read the first 4 books in English for the first time (I had only read them in German before). It's so amazing to become absorbed in their world, even if it's completely ridiculous. It gave me a nice escape from life, and made the movie more fun to see. Twice. So far.
Nineteen Minutes was a good book, too. My Secret Santa at work gave it to me. It's about a school shooting and was impossible to put down. I will probably read more Jodi Picoult books in the future. And I think I'll keep posting my reading list for 2011, too. Maybe I'll read more, now that I'm in the habit. I'm sure the end of my year will be filled with textbooks though! Hopefully those are interesting, too.
