How Many Books Did You Read This Year?

It's that time of year again--the time when I get to thinking about how many books I've managed to read over the last 365 days. There is no contest. I'm not trying to read more books than someone else, but I am usually astounded by the sheer number of books that remain in my TBR pile come December 31st: the few books I've bought, the many books I've won, and those books I've received as gifts.

This year, I've written reviews for 174 books between this blog, Book Tours and More, and The Children's and Teens' Book Connection. I have 2 more books sitting on my desk just waiting for me to have a few moments to type up reviews, I am reading a book that I am providing an endorsement for, and I also have another book that I should finish tonight. So, when all is said and done, I'll have read close to 180 titles this year. Wow!

Feel free to let us know how many you've read this year. What were some of your favorites? What books are you looking forward to reading in 2011.

Happy New Year everyone!

The Aspiring Author is Moving In

Well, after a poll that only received three votes on this site and the other, I have decided that I will be moving The Aspiring Author blog onto this site, so if you see a few more personal posts about my works in progress, my children's picture book that is due out next fall, and some motivational quotes, don't think you're in the wrong place.

Starting on December 1st I will no longer be blogging at The Aspiring Author. All posts will appear at The Book Connection. I will maintain my other two blogs, Book Tours and More and Laura's Little Houses--a blog dedicated to Laura Ingalls Wilder, her books and the movies and shows based upon them.

I hope you enjoy the new additions to this blog. Feel free to drop me a note anytime to let me know how we're doing.

Thanks for all your support.
