2011 in Review

2011 was one of the best years of my life as a reader. After eight years outside of the United States, I was overwhelmed by the amazing access to books that I have in South Carolina.
Here are a few of the numbers for the year:

125 books read

39 graphic novels

14 adult books (fiction and nonfiction)

5 books re-read

Reviewing the list of titles, I chose my favorite eleven (it’s my blog, that’s why) books of the year:

1. Divergent

2. Page By Paige

3. Daughter of Smoke and Bone

4. Wonderstruck

5. The Mysteries of Harris Burdick

6. Meanwhile

7. A Storm of Swords

8. The Summer I Turned Pretty

9. You Don’t Even Know Me

10. Tender Morsels

11. Sahara Special


I have about seven more months in the US, so I plan to take advantage of the books at my disposal. My new Kindle should help in that department, as well!
