Because I do not live in the world of academia any more I will be doing my lists starting from January 1st and going to December 31st of the same calendar year. The number of books I read annually varies by how distracted I am by other things going on in my life and how much shopping I’m doing. You will notice that I have been less distracted from books more recently. But in 2009 I was getting married. So I was doing a lot of shopping.

Are you going to comment on the books you have read? Or does that come later?
Hi Katee – we’re planning to write reviews on the books we read from here on out. I will probably go back and write about a few that I’ve read recently, but from here on out we’ll comment on all or most of them. Thanks for reading!
I actually read one from your list! “Angel Time”! That was the 2nd book I read since I started reading for pleasure in 2009. I am a total late bloomer! Lol
