2011 in Review
All in all, 2011 was an amazing year of reading for me where I discovered many new and talented authors. I met my goal of reading 96 books (the same as last year). I read about 1000 more pages in 2011 than I did in 2010 and continued the trend of more than 75% of my reading comprising new-to-me authors. I continue to read more books written by women than men, and fiction dominates my stacks.

DECEMBER 2011
December was a fantastic month of reading. I read 7 books (1 collection of short stories, 2 memoirs, and 4 novels) with an average rating of 4.4. I read 2097 pages, an average of 299 pages per book. I rated both Midsummer Night in the Workhouse AND We The Animals 5 stars; and three other books garner 4.5 stars. Six of the seven books were written by new to me authors.
