Below is the list of books that I read in 2011. There are many books that I started and did not finish, and maybe even a few that I finished and did not list. I have found that I do not get to as many books as I use to, but that does not mean that I am not reading. I read all the time whether it is the newspaper or the headlines on yahoo.com. Sometimes, I read for professional reasons, and those books, I tend not to finish. I also reread both The Blind Side and In A Heartbeat after reading I Beat the Odds....
My favorite book was Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter, but I enjoyed all the books that I read this year. Some of my book club friends went onto to read more Jodi Picoult books after we read My Sister's Keeper. Although I liked the book and enjoyed the discussion, I have not read another Jodi Picoult book, but I have found that author in Kristin Hannah.
Night Road by Kristin Hannah
Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah
I Beat the Odds: From Homelessness to The Blind Side and Beyond by Michael
Oher with Don Yaeger
The Butterfly's Daughter by Mary Alice Monroe
Call Me Irresistible by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach by Anthony Bourdain
Homeless Bird by Gloria Whelan
Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
My goal for 2012 is 12 books, one book for pleasure a month. With technology at my disposal in an e-reader and an itouch as well as regular paper books, I hopefully will exceed this goal!
