- But Inkdeath is screaming at me to drop everything and read it!
- And a bookmark is half way through the abandoned The Moon Below...oh yeah, and that one book... War and Peace.
Happy Reading in 2009 to you all!
Your record-keeping is impressively complete. I only started keeping note in my blog last year. I'm also quite a ways behind in my book reviews-- still have 10 or so to go before I can round up 2008.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! I love the idea. I may have to keep this in mind for the future . . . :-)
ReplyDeleteOoh, stats! I especially like how you've listed the first and last book read in any given year. I may have to steal that idea.
ReplyDeleteI'd love it if you all steal the idea. Let me know if you do and I'll come see.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun set of lists! I really like it and may steal your idea as I am currently feeling empty in my head and have a hard time finding something interesting to say ;-)
