2009, Year in Review

You would think that by having a blog about the books that I read that I could easily put together a post about how many and what kind I read last year. I don't know how everyone else blogs but I do it so haphazardly that it's like every other unorganized mess in my life. So I'm going to make an effort to give some stats on my books of 2009 but don't quote me on any of it. :)

Total books read: 72
Books finished: 68

Audiobooks: 29 (It surprised me as I started counting these. This is close to half of the books I read this year. )
Young Adult/Middle Reader: 20
Book club: 10 (2 of the 12 were read last year)
