Book Count 2011

My book count is now up to 51. I have met my goal plus one! Now everything I read for the rest of the year is gravy. Also, I have finished the Rizzoli and Isles series by Tess Gerritsen. They were awesome -- sometimes a little spooky -- but great nonetheless! I am really proud of myself for meeting my goal. I still have a lot of books on my "To Read" list, so next year I may just try to read 60 books.
