I didn't do a list this year and haven't kept track. Babies and Moves are definitely time sinks. I bet you haven't been doing all that much knitting, either. I hope NY is suiting you well.

It's kind of embarassing. If I didn't reread books in preference to finding new authors and books to love, I'd be a much better read individual. :P I love the idea of maintaining a reading list like this, but my normal reading just doesn’t lend itself well to this kind of thing (that mostly means re-reading… the same 20+ books at least two times a year).

I have averaged 90-100 books/year over the past 4 or 5 years (no babies any more; back when my two boys were little I was lucky to read 1/month). But this year I find I am knitting more and reading less, plus I am getting tired of *reading for credit*, i.e., reading real novels and even a few classics. So I am cutting back and letting my natural affinity for murder, mayhem, and suspense run wild. Reading is supposed to be fun, after all :-) You and I had many overlaps in our 2007 reading (10 of 17).
