I know I'll have less free time to read in 2010 than I did in 2009, but let's see if I can make it to 75 books!

Shawna, I'm so glad you sticking with us in 2010. I'm looking forward to seeing what you read this year!
Thanks for the encouragement! After the birth of my first child in September, my reading time decreased dramatically, so this year is going to be a struggle to get to 75 books. But I'm up for the challenge! Maybe I should count children's books . . .Goodnight Moon, anyone?
Shawna, oh my gosh, I think I missed that you are a new mom! Congratulations to you . . . Of course, it totally changes one's life.I'm glad you're already reading kid's books. I started reading to my son when he was 5 months old, and he's an avid reader today at the age of 9 1/2.
Thanks, Kay! I don't think I'd ever be able to forgive myself if my daughter doesn't grow up to be an avid reader :)
Teaching me to read was THE BEST gift my mother gave me!

Vanishing Acts is on my TBR list for this year! I can't wait to get to it! =)
I LOVED it! Somewhat of a tear-jerker, though . . .
Note to self: read Vanishing Acts with a box of kleenex at hand! =)

Patterson is SOOOO addictive! Once you read one, you'll want to read them all. Plus, they go quickly--he always has short chapters that you just zoom right through.
