my year... in books ^_^

Jan 06, 2010 00:35

So, I don't really know why I'm doing this post, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

Last year I read 170 books (not including manga). That is, now that I think back on it... a lot of text. Really. This count includes one textbook that we read pretty much all of, a handful of audiobooks, and several light novels in Japanese. That said, it's mostly fantasy novels, with a healthy smattering of science fiction.

That's almost a book every other day.

And now, under the cut, I'm going to list them all (except the textbook), in order of completion. So yeah, this is my year in books. ^_^; If you ever wondered just how I get so distracted sometimes... this has a lot to do with it. ^_^;;
