Books read in 2011

Once again I forgot to write down some of the books I read this last year but I did better at remembering than in years past.  Now that I have an Iphone I'm a little worried that my reading is going downhill.  I find myself playing dumb games or habitually checking email and Facebook rather than reading.  I'm not too happy about it and I seriously have to get a grip!  So we'll see how the list comes out for 2012...I gotta get going if I want to read a decent amount this year.

  1. I love the Gregor books. LOVE! But I was a little disappointed in the ending (much like the Hunger Games series). I also loved the Help.

    I liked Glass Castle but it almost suspended belief for me. I can't believe people actually live like that. And then my mom read it and said it was hard for her to read because it was too much of a reminder of her life growing up and I felt sick. How did I not know my mom grew up like that?
