For Kristie - Reading Year in Review 2006

Okay, I have seen some people wrapping up their reads from last year and even thought I'm not nearly as well organized as others I thought I would list a few things. You know, all scientific like.

Ahem.

I did not keep track of my DNF or my re-reads but I will after this year - uh, maybe - I'll have to see how dedicated I can be to an excel program designed by Rosario. Check it out if you want to see how to keep track of your reads etc.

21 books.

Yeah, not proud but I'm feeling immensely better about the fact that I named this blog Nocturnal Wanderings and not something like Romance Reviews R US.

I know why my reading was down this year and I think I mentioned it all in the last post but just in case, we bought 2 houses this year, a reno house and a fixer upper for Bob and I to move into that we love. Then the hubby couldn't wait to get started at our house which meant finding the right materials and paints and such to create the perfect two rooms (bath and bookroom) before Christmas. Then there was the hosting of Christmas which I ended up *loving* because I just didn't have time to work myself up into a panic attack. It was great actually.

Onwards!

I mentioned this was boring right? Maybe if I had read more books this would be interesting but meh.

All I can really say is that I don't read that far out of my comfort zone. No real non-fiction books, I mean, I read lots of design books and stuff but you don't have to read that from page to page. I don't read 'literary' stuff because it makes me nauseaus. I don't read anything that doesn't have some sort of a romance because if there is none I get bored.

Hmmm, I'm seeing a theme. Boredom is to be avoided at all costs!!

So, on that note, here are the close up pics of my books for Kristie - I think you should be able to click on the pics and have them blow up. Also, this is only the front row of books - there are books behind them. I haven't sorted the books yet because I normally have the books that I haven't read facing out but since Bob put all the books away I haven't made the time. All the same, I don't know if you'll be able to read the spines!
