Well, the year is (almost) over, and it's been quite a ride. I celebrated my 1st anniversary of blogging about books on November 23rd, and I am very gratified that you have taken time out of your busy lives to come by and drop a note or two, enter my giveaways, and generally let me know that I'm not just out here shouting into the wind. Thank you. Come back in 2010, and let's see what trouble we can cook up together... *grin*
Books read in 2009 Boy, I cannot believe how many books I've read this year. Tons! Way more than I'd expected to. And I still have Mount TBR to conquer...
2009 favorites...
Ban on Spending Challenge Alas, I didn't do so well on the Ban on Spending Challenge. Well, ok, so I didn't spend anything, but I didn't finish my TBR either. So... does that make it a draw? Anyway, if someone wants to host this for 2010, feel free! Let me know so I can route people your way. =)
I did complete the following challenges, though, and had a blast with my reading. How did you do in 2009?

You did so well to complete all yout challenges. Happy reading in 2010 and for the rest of '09. I'll be looking forward to all the "trouble" you're cooking up!
Congrats on an excellent year. I'm pretty happy with my progress this year, and I'm looking forward to more great books next year.
Sounds like you had a good year. Congratulations on the challenges, and best wishes for 2010
