In case I don't get to it around the holidays, I'm going to post a list of the books I read in 2009. I've managed to get through 20 (if you don't count the children's book by Tolkien), which matches my last year's total.
When I look at the last book list versus this one, I'm surprised to find less favourites here than last year which had some greats. That being said, I was glad to get through a bunch of classics this year with the book club, and hopefully we'll be able to keep up the pace in 2010. Please check out the reviews below [they may be helpful for holiday gift giving].
