50 Book Challenge

In 2009, I read over 100 books but toward the end of the year I started to feel like I was choosing shorter books in order to reach my goal and pushing aside interesting, yet longer books. I am lowering my 2010 goal back to 50 and am striving for quality over quantity!

I do this challenge through the 50 Book Challenge on Shelfari and you can find all of my book reviews in one thread there or my blog reviews are linked to the books listed below.
