And here my husband thinks *I’m* obsessed with the written word!
Happy Reading 2009!
Wow,,,I’m impressed.
Your listing prompted me to check out my library’s website and count all the books on my reading history list for 2008. Yikes, I’ve read 276 books this year.
I do other things besides reading, I swear! I knit socks, I make jewellery, I do lots of craft stuff, really. But it seems I read alot.
Isn’t it wonderful? And a whole new year to read more! Happy 2009!
