Some of you know that I love to read and always have. The unfortunate thing about being in school is that your "leisure reading" completly is non-existent since you're reading textbooks, notes, tests, papers, etc. You don't want to read ANYTHING extra. Then after school I worked nights so if I started reading anything then I'd just end up falling asleep. So at the beginning of my marriage my husband never saw me read anything at all. Well, the other day he turns to me and made the comment that he can't believe how I can fly through books like I do. Little did he know that there's a reader in the house I guess. I really don't have much free time, but if I ever do I really try to get a few chapters in. I especially love to read when I'm waiting for Ethan to get out of school and Max is asleep in his carseat. Those few precious minutes of me and my book are heavenly! So here are the books that I read this year (in no particular order)

Good list! I've read some of these..can't wait to be book buddies on good reads :) OH by the by..our blog isn't under your list of family names yet :(
Brittany, that is SO great. MY NY resolution is to read 6 classics and 6 "self-help/churchy" books. I can hardly keep my eyes open to read lately. You've inspired me!
Holy cow! The only book I read in 2009 was Mary Kay Ash's autobiography. lol
