My Last 20 Books 12.31.10

    It may be a bit ironic that this "Last 20" post will be my last "Last 20" post for 2010. Below are my posts for 2010. Keeping track of what I'm reading and where I got the books from has become an important aspect of reflection for me. For instance, if you look at my prior "Last 20" posts, you'll notice I read tons of library books, but this time I've only read two. I think this is because of my over-loaded shelves from BEA 2010 and the books that are a product of my spending spree. In August I moved to Sioux Falls, SD, and have sought out two of the best local used book stores and have visited regularly — whereas before this move there wasn't a book store for 100 miles.

    My goal for 2011 is to read more of my own books and to not spend so much money on books. It isn't only the money, it's the space. At this point my living room looks like it has been taken over by books, and while I love it, my fiance gets a bit stressed out. It won't hurt me to cut back a little, I've got loads to read.

    Plus, when I "empty" these shelves maybe I can get a Nook!:)
