Hey Everyone! Sorry I was MIA during the holidays but I have not yet graduated to blogger who carries her laptop everywhere (resolution for 2009). I hope you all had a great two weeks. I thought that this week I would focus on doing a “year in review” for each topic and go over what my New Year’s resolutions are for each category.
Last year, according to the blog, I read 36 books in 2009, although I feel like it was more. You know it’s funny because during 2009, as I was reading, I felt that it was kind of a blah reading year but when I went to look over the books that I had reviewed during the year I realized that I had read some really great books! Here are some of the highlights:
Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber & Voyager
I also read my first graphic novel, lordy and remember my obsession with the Twilight series! It was a good year for reading. I’m hoping that 2010 is also a good reading year for me. My reading goals for 2010 are to read 52 books (or one a week!) and to complete my first reading challenge on time. I’ve completed one reading challenge to date but I finished it past the due date. I would also like to read more classics this year, so look for those among my book reviews for 2010. I’m almost done with my first book of 2010 and that review will be awaiting you next Monday, January 11th.

What are your reading goals for 2010? Any good books on your MUST READ list?
I hope to read the entire Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind(11 books). I am already about 400 pages into the 1st book, and have the 2nd and 3rd on the shelf ready to go(thanks for those!).
If you enjoyed reading watchmen, but didn’t like the art that much, try a newer graphic novel. Watchmen was great, and for its time a real step forward for graphic novels but the artwork is very dated, and sometimes even makes it hard to read. Modern graphic novels have AMAZING art, even though a lot is done on the computer instead of by hand nowadays.
