2009 book Challenge
Inspired by Liz and her annual book review, I decided to challenge myself and see how many books I could read last year. I figured I could read at least 50, and I was close, I made it to 49. A little disappointing that I was one book short, but still pretty good. Here's my list, I've bolded what I enjoyed very much.
