Books Read in 2017

I forgot to share this at the end of 2017, but it's never too late. Here is a recap of all of the books that I read in 2017. I listened to quite a few audiobooks and reread some of my favorites.

In 2018, one of my goals is to read more books from my own shelves (this is a goal I have every year). 

And now for the breakdown:

The date listed is when I finished the book.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Resolve to Read in 2011

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This meme was created because they are particularly fond of lists. I am too so that is why I am participating this week.

Books I Resolve to Read in 2011

This year I am resolving to read more books that are already on my bookshelves. That's not to say that I won't buy any new books that would be crazy, ridiculous even, but I will read more books that I own.

Here are the top ten books I resolve to read in 2010:

1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling- On January 1st, I declared 2011 the year I give Harry Potter a chance. I'd given up and just resigned to see the movies but I know there is a huge difference between the books and the movies, so I'm going to read them. Yes, I am.

2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling

4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling - I could name the complete series of HP, but I only own the first four of the series and I am only including books that I already on the

5. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - It has been way too long. I have to read this book asap. That is all there is to say.

6. Wicked by Gregory Maguire - A few years ago I asked for Wicked for Christmas. As my husband always does, he went overboard and bought 4 of Maguire's books for me. Instead of starting with Wicked, which I had originally asked for, I read Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister first. That book did a number on me, to say the least and a stayed away from Maguire's books. Now I'm ready to read his books again.

7.  At least one of the 4 Barbara Kingsolver books that I own

8. The Siren by Kiera Cass - I received The Siren from my friends 2 years ago for my birthday. They were excited to give the book to me because she is a local author and they know her. I hope to read it before my next birthday.

9. Monkey Bridge by Lan Tao - A former coworker loaned me this book. She wanted me to read it and never did. We no longer work together, but have kept in contact and she keeps asking me if I've read Monkey Bridge. I am ashamed to tell her that I haven't, so it is on the list.

10. I will finally finish The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton - I've read the first 30 pages, but never finished it. This year I will.

So on December 31, 2011 it will be interesting to see if I kept my resolution and read all of these books. I do hope that this is one resolution I will be able to achieve.

Books Read in 2010

Here is the complete list of books read in 2010. I cannot believe I read so many, 83 total. My goal was to read at least 52 books (a book a week).

The date listed is when I finished the book.
