I read 51 books in 2009!
So, this goal started because of a group on Shelfari and something stupid said "People Don't Read Anymore." Somebody started a group on Shelfari to prove him wrong. And the challenge in the group was to read 50 books in a year. I tried last year and made it to 46. So I tried again this year. Here are the 51 books I read:

Wow! Congrats on finishing your goal!
Good for you! I loved the Book Thief, too! Not at first, mind you--I was annoyed with it at first. And then it became one of the best books I've ever read.
Very impressive. Good luck on your goal for this next year!
Way to go!! That's an impressive list. If I don't count audio books, I only made it to 20-something. Good luck on your next goal!
wow, i'm impressed. good luck on next year's goal!
BROOKE! (I was checking out Bonnie's Blogs and found yours. I hope that is ok.) I bet I read 50 books a year. The trouble is most of them are Dr. Seuss and the same book i read yesterday... and the day before...and the day before... :)
