2011 Reads

I love to get lost in a good book.  

When I start a book, I usually feel like I'm entering a new world.  The characters become my friends.

It's not uncommon for me to feel a little depressed after a good book.  I want to keep reading about my new buddies.

I set the goal to read 24 books in 2011.

And I actually met my goal!

My favorite reads of the year?

I know without a doubt that The Hunger Games Series was my top pick followed really closely by Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

Both were SO good.

And both are about to be movies!  Yippee!

Least favorites?

The Stolen Life and Eat Cake.

The rest fall somewhere in between.

I'm raising my goal to 30 books for 2012.

Here's the list of what I read in 2011:

• Eat Cake by Jeanne Ray
• Homeschooling For The Rest Of Us by Sonya Haskins
• The Well Adjusted Child by Racheal Gathercole
• The Omnivores Dilema by Micheal Pollan
