Closing the Books on 2008

This has been a great year for reading!

Being the designated read-aloud reader for our homeschool puts a great variety into the list, as did being sick for a lot of last Winter so I had to stock up on mystery novels, and so did having to read several books for my CCEF classes!

All in all, I got to read almost 100 books in 2008. That's the best I've done since the kids came along.
