    WOW. I'm a s-l-o-w reader, so I can't imagine reading more than 1 a month. I'm about halfway through King's 11/22/63 and enjoying it.

    I didn't count the ones I read this year. Maybe in 2013?*competition in the making :)*

    Are these Kindle/ereader versions or paper and glue?

    And another thing. Did you turn me onto The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong? I don't remember who recommended this series but holy cats, they are an excellent read.

      I don't have an e-reader so those were all real books. Wasn't me who recommended The Summoning but I'll keep it in mind for 2013 :)

    I'm impressed! I don't think I even read half as many because I'm a really slow reader.

    Another really slow reader here. I think I managed about twenty or so for the year. I liked The Night Circus, but my favorite of the year was The Scorpio Races. Brilliant book. Also really enjoyed The Blade Itself. Ooh, and The Graveyard Book is on my TBR list for 2013. Good list!

      Hope you enjoy the second book as much as the first (The First Law Trilogy) :)

    Holy crap, that's impressive. I haven't read fiction in over a year now. But I do keep my head in many cookery books.

    Cheers and boogie boogie.

      I have Diary of a Wimpy Kid waiting for me from LAST year. Then I bought the new one.

      Terrible, I haven't read.

    I'm so impressed. How do you keep track of your books? A simple piece of paper, Goodreads or something else? I can never remember, but I'd love a list of books I read over the years. Still haven't read Night Circus but plan to this year. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

      I have a file on my computer for my blog posts. They don't all make it there but I do try to keep track of the books I've read.

    When I think back and try to remember books that really stood out for me, I can only think of two --
    Housekeeping by Marylinne Robinson
    and
    The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
    and oh yes,
    The Razor's Edge by Somserset Maugham

    Sadly, I don't think I've read any of the books on your list. But then, I don't really care for the best sellers or anything new for that matter. But even more sadly, I don't even know if these were best sellers. :(

    A friend just gave me some of her old books and so maybe I can begin to catch up.

      Some were bestsellers, but the majority were not.

    You are a reading star, seriously. I can't say I've read half that since I am soooo slow with reading.

    I really enjoyed Givin' Up the Ghost by Gwen Gardner, Katana by Cole Gibson and Grave Mercy by Robin Lafevers.

      That's my goal, to read at least one more book each year. That means next year I need to read at least 45... I better get busy, eh?
