Now on to the 2009 Year Wrap-up:

I read 63 books in 2009, which is great for me. With school and work, it's really hard to find spare time to read for pleasure but have made it more of a priority this year and it shows.

My favorite books from 2009 were:

• Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell
• The art of racing in the rain by Garth Stein
• Beautiful Lies by Lisa Unger
• The adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary Pearson

Also rated 5 stars but not marked favorite for whatever reason were:

• The Face of Deception by Iris Johansen
• Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
• Skinny Chicks don't eat salads by Christine Avanti

I have made 3 new book related New Years Resolutions:

• Read more from my TBR pile
• Borrow more from the library instead of trading or buying books available at the library
• Stick to a 50 page rule. If the book isn't grabbing me by 50 pages, dump it and move on.

I have so many new challenges coming up in 2010 so I'm looking forward to new reading experiences.

I hope everyone has a fabulous 2010, thanks for reading my blog!
