DECEMBER BOOKS AND A 2010 READING CHALLENGE WRAP-UP

2010 is over, done, kaput.  The year flew by - "they" weren't kidding when they said that time flies.  Time for a wrap-up of my December books and the challenges I started and finished during this past year.

Here are my December books:

CLEOPATRA'S DAUGHTER by Michelle Moran

A CHESAPEAKE SHORES CHRISTMAS by Sherryl Woods (2010 Holiday Reading Challenge)

CALL ME MRS. MIRACLE by Debbie Macomber (2010 Holiday Reading Challenge)

THE CHRISTMAS BUS by Melody Carlson (2010 Holiday Reading Challenge)

THE POSTCARD KILLERS by James Patterson and Liza Marklund

THE GIFT OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT by Melody Carlson (2010 Holiday Reading Challenge)

HOW TO BE LOST by Amanda Eyre Ward

ANGELS IN THE SNOW by Melody Carlson (2010 Holiday Reading Challenge)

THE SCARECROW by Michael Connelly

CHRISTMAS AT HARRINGTON'S by Melody Carlson

I STILL DREAM ABOUT YOU by Fannie Flagg

THE RICHEST SEASON by Maryann McFadden

Here are the challenges I'm doing for 2011:

Read and Review Challenge 2011
100+ Reading Challenge 2011
Ireland Reading Challenge 2011
2011 Medical Mystery Madness Challenge
What's in a Name 4 Challenge
Just for Fun Reading Challenge
Chunkster Challenge 2011

There might be others - I'll have to think about it.  Although I'm sure I'll be doing a Holiday Reading Challenge again toward the end of the year.

So now it's time to start making lists of books that I need to read for the challenges and others that I want to read just because.  I get so many ideas from reading other book blogs - books and authors that are new to me but sound interesting.  Some have worked for me, others not so much.  But it's always fun to try new things.

Here's hoping that your 2011 will be a great year, full of fun books and adventures!

"Here's to the bright New Year, and a fond farewell to the old; here's to the things that are yet to come, and to the memories that we hold."

Happy New Year, dear Lynne, wishing you and yours the very best that 2011 has to offer! xoxo

Wow, so many books and challenges! That's great Lynne, I'm just a wee bit jealous! :) I love to read, but I read less books in 2010 than I have in several years. Oh well, here's hoping to more in 2011, LOL!

Have a great day and start to the new year :)
