2010 was more of a magazine kind of year. With a new baby sleeping in our room, I didn't get to read a whole lot of books. I think I missed reading more than I missed sleep. I got my iPhone for Mother's Day and promptly added the Kindle app. Here are some of the books I managed to read while holding/sleeping with baby Bubba (not in any order):

1. Around the World in 80 Days - Jules Verne
2. A Knight in Shining Armor - Jude Devereaux
3. The Lace Reader - Brunonia Barry
4. Major Pettigrew's Last Stand - Helen Simonson
5. Evelina, or the History of a Young Lady's Entrance into the World - Fanny Burney

Books Read in 2009

I thought I saved the list somewhere but haven't been able to find it. I had a goal of reading 18 books and I know I far surpassed that (not even counting the Candy Books aka romance novels). There were a few I discussed by name in a Goal Update post which you can find here. These are somewhat in the order I read them if I remember correctly.

1. Siddartha
2. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
3. Jane Eyre
4. Sherlock Holmes (Vol 1)
5. The Secret Garden
6. Fahrenheit 451
7. Alice (bio on Alice Roosevelt Longworth)
8. Bio on the Andrews Sisters (can't remember name right now)
