124 in 2009



Strange title, I know, but it's the number of books I read and reviewed this year among this blog, TC&TBC, and as a partcipant in the Amazon Vine Program. It's more books than I read last year, and considering my book tour schedule increased, it's an amazing number for me.




Here's to reading more good books in 2010!
