Well, here it is. The breakdown of my 2010 reading. I had a good year this year, and I’m very happy with where I’m at. I especially like that I was able to read 45 books off of my shelves. That’s great in my opinion (now if I could just get through the other gazillion books on my shelves, haha!) Anyways, without further ado, here is my 2010 reading year in review:

Tales of a Book Addict 
I really enjoyed 31 Bond Street as well. I read my first Kava book and while I liked it, I wasn’t impressed. I have another book by her in my TBR pile and hopefully I’ll like that one better.
I looked back at your archives, you read “Damaged” by Alex Kava, I am a huge fan of Alex Kava and the Maggie O’Dell series and even that one didn’t do much for me. So I do hope that you give her another chance 🙂
