I am going to share this here as well as on my book blog, Reading in White Bear Lake. It has been a very slow year of reading for me. Life and work have gotten in the way of my sitting around and reading into the wee hours of the night. Since I am no longer going to Duluth for work each month, my nights to read in the hotel room are gone as well. Alas, I have only read 28 books in 2009, but some very good ones!!

I love making my list of best books each year. I forget about all the great books I read in the beginning of the year! Next, I will enjoy reading other book bloggers lists which will certainly make my “To Be Read” list even longer!
