2010 Reading Challenge 'Been Read' List

Good Evening Humble Readers!

Once again the marvelous Kristin over at Dragondreamers Lair has challenged us all to pick up a book and read! Swing by and sign up... (and if you are finding this post later in the year, I know from experience that even latecomers are welcome to the party).

My goal for this year is 75 books. Last year my goal was 100, but I only made it to 53. How embarassing for a self-proclaimed book addict. Audiobooks and books under 50 pages count as half a book (I suggest that cookbooks should count as half-books, too). I read mostly fiction, wth a smattering of biographies, kids books, and, of course, cookbooks. Working in a bookstore keeps my 'to read' list fuller than I can manage, but I'm always looking for recommendations.

I will update here with every book I complete, but if you want to know more, you'll want to check out my reviews at the end of each month.
