I've even amazed myself!

Way back in September I posted a Thursday Thirteen with a list of 13 books I'd read since the start of 2010. I'd never been much of a reader, I claimed to hate it...but in reality I think I was just sucky at choosing books. I decided to read some different types of books this year to try to find my passion...and man did I find it!
This year I have read the following books:

1. Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyers
2. The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella
3. Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin
4. Something Blue by Emily Giffin
5. Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
6. Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris
7. Club Dead by Charlaine Harris
8. Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris
9. Remember Me by Sophie Kinsella
10. The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin and Nicloa Kraus
11. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson
12. Baby Proof by Emily Giffin
13. Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner
14. Can you Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella
15. Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin
16. A Total Waste of Makeup by Kim Gruenfelder
17. My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult
18. Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella
19. Misery Loves Cabernet by Kim Gruenfelder
20. One for the Money by Janet Evanovich

That's right folks 20 books read by the girl who "hates to read"...I think I found my passion in chick lit! I did branch out a little from chick lit and read some vampire romance (really not that different) and a some murder mysteries. I'm currently almost finished with Two for the Dough by Janet Evanovich, and I'm reading The Girl who Played with Fire by Steig Larsson...and think I may just finish those by the end of the year....but we'll see.

I read so much this year that I decided to put a Kindle at the top of my Christmas list! I'm so excited to be able to have books at my fingertips all.the.time! Granted it will cost me a little more than my current love half.com but that's okay. I'm still in shock at how much I've begun to LOVE reading...and now if I can just get into running I can amaze myself again....but hey one thing at a time right?!?!
