2010 - A Book Year in Review

I didn't read as much as planned but I had many other things to do so I'm after all proud I didn't give up on reading or blogging. I think I perhaps overdid it a bit too. I need to learn to keep it reasonable and not spend all my free time on the blogs. There is a real life after all and I should try to spend more time with the real world. But it's fun so we will see how I can manage that. Yes I'm a blogging addict.

Here are the stats for 2010:

122 books - woot

18 Megan Hart books - yes it's scary...I swear I'm not stalking ;)

41 Contemporary Romance - yep it's getting more and more

10 Science Fiction =( - me a bad geek

7 Historicals =) - steady incline

6 DNFs - I'm stronger than I thought

81 reviews - yes I'm shocked myself

Yeah I was shocked about how many Megan Hart books I read and that i just read 10 sci-fis. I have to redeem the latter in 2011. And only around 30 books I didn't review. That is wow but I think I should do less. I'm starting to feel pressured about reviewing so perhaps I should read more just for me. We will see how that works out.

On another note I signed up to 2 reading challenges and yeah I forgot them sometimes in January. I think I read at least 10 eroticas but no Outlander book so I think these challenges aren't for me cuz I'm too prone for forgetting them. *hides in shame*

But I read some really good ones this year. You can take a look at my full list here but I will tell you my personal Top 10 reads of 2010 (in no particular order) naw and give you the shortest explanation why *g*

 

• - Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews - Curran and Kate getting smexy ;)
• - Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs - Finally a bit more Adam!
• - Naked by Megan Hart - Alex deserved this book even more than we did!
• - The Road to Shanhasson by Joely Sue Burkhart - Gregar *le sigh*
• - Three Over Par by Cathryn Brunet - Wow, intense!

• - Amidst a Crowd of Stars by Megan Hart - So sad!
• - Succubus Shadows by Richelle Mead - Made my heart bleed!
• - Anytime Darlin' by Julia Rachel Barrett - Heartbreakingly real.
• - Double Cross by Carolyn Crane - Carolyn is made of evil!
• - Precious and Fragile Things by Megan Hart - Showed my I still can love non Romance books!

I'm also happy to have met so many great people this year. Blogging really connects and I can't imagine my life without some of them.

Special thanks go to

• - Caroline aka pattepoilue - for making me giggle even when I thought I couldn't take anymore.
• - The rest of the Book Lovers Inc gals - for being fun to work with!
• - Julia Rachel Barret - for listening to my ranting and being a great person to talk to. I love to discuss things with her- she's just awesome.
• - Megan Hart - for the best reading hours this year.
• - BF - for understanding all this blogging and reading stuff

I blogged like the madwoman I am- 131 posts on The Geeky Bookworm and 149 posts on Book Lovers Inc. It seems I really am crazy and should slow a bit down. Not sure how to achieve that but will work something out.

So New Year resolutions for me:

• - read more
• - read more science fiction
• - blog less
• - don't review so much and start enjoying the reading more
• - be yourself
• - stay away from reading challenges

Sounds good to me. How was your reading year 2010? Any reading resolutions you will try to achieve?

Guten Rutsch into the new year!
