2010 books

One of my goals for 2010 was to read more books than I did in 2009. Well, that was a lofty goal, considering that I read 32 books in 2009.


Unfortunately, I feel short with just 27 books this year:

With An Everlasting Love, Kay Arthur
Light on Snow, Anita Shreve
A Wedding in December, Anita Shreve

The Red Tent, Anita Diamant
The Shack, William P. Young
Me & Emma, Elizabeth Flock
The Four Seasons of Marriage, Gary Chapman
A Voice in the Wind, Francine Rivers
An Echo in the Darkness, Francine Rivers
As Sure As the Dawn, Francine Rivers
Forgotten God: Reversing our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit, Francis Chan
Water for Elephants, Sara Gruen
The Help, Katherine Stockett
Firefly Lane, Kristin Hannah
The Art of Racing in the Rain, Garth Stein
Three Cups of Tea, Greg Mortenson
Father Fiction, Donald Miller
Sarah's Key, Tatiana de Rosnay
Maggie, Charles Martin
Something Borrowed, Emily Giffin

I blame the iPad.
