My Overstuffed Bookshelf hosted this challenge for 2011 and I have to admit that when I signed up for it I really didn't have the intention to read more than a hundred books during the year, but mostly just to keep a running list of the books that I did read. There is so much going on in my life that I actually read less books this year than in 2010! Last year I ended the year with 51 books read while this year the list is only at 43. Here is the list of books that I read and you could click on the title to read my review:

Oh well, at least you gave it a try.
You did read some good books even though you didn't reach the goal.
Well done. With working full time and taking care of your Grandma and enjoying your children, I think you did pretty well. I like that you keep a list of what you read. I might try that.
This book is tragic in the sense that it demonstrates what human nature is capable of and what it can work to overcome in the end. I could not put this book down and it left me scared but rooting for the main character. It has been awhile since that has happened to me. I would very much recommend this title to others, but beware, it did give me the creeps!
