One of my favorite things to do is read. I’ve always loved it. I love ingesting knowledge and learning. I gravitate towards easy to read novels, self-help books, parenting books, biographies. I am an eclectic reader who tends to pick an author or a theme and run with it. After much harping from Mike, I’ve started reading more “fun books” – he likes me better when I’m reading novels than when I’m reading parenting jargon at 10:30 at night!
Of course, I wish I could have read more this year, but with three little ones
This year’s theme was mostly easy to read books that were enjoyable to read before going to sleep. My favorite author was Kristin Hannah (thanks Mandy for introducing her books to me!) and I also really loved The Help

I love book lists! Thanks for sharing yours.
I'm impressed!! I actually enjoy reading, too, but I definitely don't make time for it. I have The Birth Order Book, but I've just read bits and pieces. I've also heard about 1-2-3 Magic – they used to do seminars on it here…I'll have to check that book out. Thanks!! Good luck on getting to 50 this year.
great post thanks for sharing!
That is a great list of books. You should sign up for my book challenge next year.
thanks for sharing.
did you like the twin books you read? i'm looking into getting a few but would like some recommendations if i can get them. i read SO many twin books before they came, but time is more valuable now 
ooo! You have to read Sarah's Key…I read it right after the Help and both of those books are my top books of all time.
Fun blog post.
I got a Kindle a few months ago and am always looking for book suggestions. Thanks!
if you like biographies, read the cleopatra just out in 2010. ny times book review said it was one of the top 5 non-fiction books of 2010. thanks for your list!
I am marking this list! I thought I read a lot, but I usually only read 35-40 books per year.
I made the list! (Can you tell how behind I am in my Reader due to the Creme. But to be fair, your blog starts with an S, and the Reader is in alphabetical order). Thank you
