Books Read in 2009
It's time for the yearly book round-up!
This year I read 77 books, way more than I've read since I began keeping track in 2005. I have 21 books left on my reading list, plus the rest of the Kurosagi books.
I decided that 2010 will be the year of the series, and the year of the re-read. I want to re-read the Harry Potter books, the Stephanie Plum books, and Melanie Rawn's Stronghold and Dragon Prince series'. I also want to read the Dark Tower series. And get back into the Graphic Novels. I need to catch up with Ultimate X-Men, Fables, Ex Machina, and a few others, I think. Can't recall the names off the top of my head.
Anyway, on to the list!
