books of 2009

A couple of years ago I read how Alissa Wilkinson read 50 books in a year and she really inspired me to read more. Knowing that I would never make 50 I aimed a little lower and decided to read 27 books in 2009. Didn't quite make it, but read my way through 25. (Well I started about 6 other ones but haven't finished them yet - bad habit of reading more than one book at a time I know!)

Tender is the night – F. Scott Fitzgerald

Travelling mercies – Anne Lamott

He’s just not that into you - Greg Behrendt

Eclipse – Stephanie Meyer

New moon – Stephanie Meyer

A thousand splendid suns – Husseid Khallini

I sold my soul on ebay - Hemant Metha

Jesus wants to save all Christians – Rob Bell

Breaking dawn – Stephanie Meyer

I’ll have what she’s having – Bobbie Houston

To kill a mocking bird – Harper Lee

Under the Tuscan sun – Francis Mayes

The Mitfords, letters between six sisters - Charlotte Mosley(editor)

The shack - William P Young

Frauen veraendern die Welt – Elke Werner

Diary of a dangerous vision – Andy Hawthorne

Don’t tell Alfred – Nancy Mitford

The un-domestic goddess – Sophie Kinsella

A year in Provence – Peter Mayle

The Satorialist – Scott Schuman

Queen of the Road – Doreen Orion

The irresistible revolution – Shane Clairborne

The pursuit of love – Nancy Mitford

Love in a cold climate – Nancy Mitford

The private lives of Pippa Lee – Rebecca Miller

It was a rather random collection of books and some were awesome, others were okay, some were silly. The one that fascinated me most was the Mitford girls biography and I ended up reading three books from the oldest one and am halfway through a book of one of her best friends :)

This year I'm aiming higher, trying to take more time out just to read. Stupid TV will not suck me in this year!!!
