Amy’s comments from the Challenge: 50 Books group.

I am currently trying to finish the last Twilight book and reading A Christmas Wedding by James Patterson on my Kindle.

5. Water for Elephants-Sara Gruen

Another great read this year. I can't wait to see Reese Witherspoon in this one!

4. A Change in Altitude-Anita Shreve

Is seem to be doing better this year. I hope I can keep it up!

3. Chosen-Chandra Hoffman

A wonderful book about those moments that can change our lives.

2. Grace-Richard Paul Evans

1. The Piano Teacher-Janice Lee
I'm realizing I need to read faster if I am going to make it!

I didn't make it this year, so thought I'd start 2011 a bit early in the hopes that I'll be more successful. :)

Love my Kindle and if you ever have to replace it Amazon is a very reliable company.

3. Nanny Returns-Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus

2. Sea Glass-Anita Shreve

I love this authors books, but this one left me a little disappointed.

1. And Sometimes Why-Rebecca Johnson

21.The Last Song-Nicholas Sparks
This was a wonderful book ,as are all of Sparks' books!

20. Julie and Julia-Julie Powell

19. Three Weeks with My Brother-Nicholas and Micah Sparks

Here are the books I have read so far this year:

As you can see I have a ways to go!!

This will definately be a challenge for me, as I have only read 18 books so far this year. I have been traking my book reading since 2003. You see, I have an insane amount of books. It is like a library at my house! I was buying books more than once and forgetting which one I had read. Now, I have a binder with a list of all my book in alphabetical order and another notebook where I write down the title and author of each book as a finish it and the date I finished it. I also star it if I think I'll read it again. The ones I won't read again I post on Paperback swap.
