I also tried ...The first comment explains it all... I also tried to comment yesterday but wasn't able to. :)<br /><br />I love your reviews and try to review in a similar fashion. Can I admit that I skim long reviews to see if they recommend the book? If I haven't read the book yet I am only looking to see if you liked it enough that I need to read it - I don't want to know what happened. Some reviews read like book reports (to much detail for my personal taste). <br /><br />I hope to read more in 2011 vs listening so much. I think I read less than 30 books in 2010, I'm afraid to look at the total (read vs listen). I ended the year with about 60 books total. An all time high for me!<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend. I'm SO excited for you to see your son in San Diego!!!mpartykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058880500554363163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-61076420903924098292011-01-01T08:01:14.998-05:002011-01-01T08:01:14.998-05:00It sounds like you had a wonderful year of reading...It sounds like you had a wonderful year of reading as well.

I have three on my shelves to read in 2011: The Secret History of the PC; The Lost Summer of LMA; On Folly Beach. Knowing that they were favorites of yours makes me want to read them very soon.<br />2011 is going to be mostly reading off my own shelves with a few arcs now and then. That's one of the challenges (Diane's) and then I do the Reagan Arthur Books and the Okra Books which are both ongoing. That's it. I'm holding it at those three.<br />I'm so glad you're a book blogger. Yours is a fresh voice that I appreciate :-)<br />Happy New Year!Mary (Bookfan)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00573126476574980169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-65533651905997349482010-12-31T21:21:54.759-05:002010-12-31T21:21:54.759-05:00Staci, you had a terrific year...very impressive, ...Staci, you had a terrific year...very impressive, and although you failed my challenge miserably (your words...LOL), you know why and that makes it okay:)<br /><br />Happy New Year; love your blog...friend.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-60728947465275043052010-12-31T21:10:06.927-05:002010-12-31T21:10:06.927-05:00So glad The Secret History of the Pink Carnation w...So glad The Secret History of the Pink Carnation was a favorite!

It was fun to read last year's resolutions and what didn't quite get done. <br /><br />I also agree with your objective as a book blogger - to simply write how you feel about the books you read. To me that is what makes a good book blogger. It feels like one fellow book lover talking to another book lover. <br /><br />I sure hope you have a happy New Year's celebration.Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-55473344983048062052010-12-31T20:15:35.901-05:002010-12-31T20:15:35.901-05:00You rocked it with 179 books!
