So that was a fail. Not sure if I will fill this in next year or not.

10 books Picked by Readers

Revolutionary Road
Middlesex
The Perfect Wife
Jane Austin Ruined my Life
Wednesday Sisters
Those Christmas Angels

Still need to finish up 4 more which I will do in 2011. I need to read Water for Elephants, Teacher Man, The Bachelor and Bridget Jones.

And reading books that are movies and then watching their movies was a fail. I read books that had movies but didn't get around to watching movies!!

How did you do in your reading goals of 2010? How many books did you read?
