So, can we pretend we set a goal to read 200 books together? We would have met that perfectly! (and yes, very ironic that we were both reading Bryson as our last!)

Well, I did read a ton of children’s books to my nieces this year, but since I don’t review them, I don’t count them. Looking forward to sharing another great year of reading with you!

I would have died a little inside getting to 99 and not 100 … but that is just me. I’m a sell out. Good for you for not opting for th easy way out.

And I love love love your reading goals. I was dazzled by all the free books I was offered when I was a new book blogger last year but realized that it ended up being more of a pain than a blesssing to me. I’m cutting way back in 2010 and reading more for me.

So glad I found your blog this year … it is one of my faves!

Boy that would be frustrating! Did you read any children’s books during the year that you could count? I guess that kind of leads into what you were talking about quality verses quantity though.

I agree with you about choosing quality. I know I am going to try to focus more on what I want to read this year, and that includes some books that are bound to take me more time to read.

Happy New Year! I hope your year is filled with time spent reading fabulous books!
