Graphic novels & YA tend to help those numbers, too!<br /><br />Zibilee, I'm not really planning on anything for 2011; I just kind of take it as it comes when it comes to reading. I don't know if I'll read more nonfiction; I suppose if there's more nonfiction I'm interested in, I will.<br /><br />Rhapsody, I don't get it either. I thought that book was a winner.<br /><br />AS, yeah, just not a library user I guess, LOL.<br /><br />Marce, it's a fun little exercise to do at the end of the year.<br /><br />Jewwishes, thanks!<br /><br />Michael, thank you for the tip! it's a great book.<br /><br />Susan, you are too sweet! :-)Marie Cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938166831865436287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-8904194001650336022010-12-20T18:55:44.202-05:002010-12-20T18:55:44.202-05:00I am totally impressed with your reading.
