2010 reads

Once again it’s time for my annual (ha.) moment of narcissism and bragging. No really I just like to post this so that I can go back year after year and see what I’ve read. And because I like to see them all written in a big list… makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something.


So here are the books I read in 2010:
(My favorites are in red, although this year I didn't finish books I didn't like, so I think they're all pretty good... the one exception is that Ellen book - it was a huge disappointment.)

1. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

2. The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

3. 11 on top by Janet Evanovich

4. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

5. Aunt Dimity: Vampire Hunter by Nancy Atherton

6. If You Could See Me Now (A Silver Lining) by Cecelia Ahern

7. The Funny Thing Is by Ellen DeGeneres

9. French Women Don’t Get Fat by Mireille Guiliano (reread)

10. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

11. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

12. 123 Magic for Christian Parents by Thomas W. Phelan PhD and Chris Webb MS MA

13. Remember Me by Sophie Kinsella

22. The Best Worst Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson

23. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

And I also included a few of the ones that I started but didn’t finish because… well they took up a lot of my reading life and I just wanted to. I felt like I spent a lot of 2010 reading child-rearing books and crafting books that, lets be honest, I’m not reading from cover to cover:

1. American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld (this one I’ve been working on since February, I swear I’m going to finish it)

2. The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman (this one I’ve been working on for three years)

3. The Srong-Willed Child by James C. Dobson

4. The Power of a Praying Woman by Stormie Omartian

5. Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood: Practical Parenting from Birth to Six Years by Jim Fay and Charles Fay

6. The Gentle Art of Quiltmaking by Jane Brocket

7. The Gentle Art of Domesticity by Jane Brocket

So what should I read in 2011?
