So anyway, I put together a list of the books I read in 2011. It's a nice walk down memory lane for me, as I remember what I was doing at the time too =)
- NUMB by Sean Ferrell
- HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins
- DUMA KEY by Stephen King
- CATCHING FIRE by Suzanne Collins
- MOCKINGJAY by Suzanne Collins
- DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth
- A NIGHT OF BLACKER DARKNESS by Dan Wells
- THREE DAVES by Nicki Elson
- FULL DARK, NO STARS by Stephen King
- VARIANT by Robison Wells
I have high hopes for 2012. For Christmas I got NIGHT CIRCUS by Erin Morgenstern, THE PERICLES COMMISSION by Gary Corby, and UNDER THE DOME by Stephen King (it's MAMMOTH!!!) and I can't wait to read them! Plus my mom leant me THE WOODS by Harlan Coben - a great thriller that is helping me with editing my book! That's the problem with ebooks - you can't lend them to a friend!
I'm excited to read more books in 2012. How about 20 - I'm actually putting a number on it... but I won't stress if it doesn't happen.
Did you set goals for 2011? Did you meet them?

I loved UNDER THE DOME :)
I met some of my goals and failed at others. It's been a strange year. I hope I'm more successful in 2012.
I think this is the only year i haven't been myself outside my writing. And I mean in a sad way.
I hope 2012 is better for so many of us.
great, Marcy! looking forward to reading it all year =)
Michael, thats life, right? ups & downs
Fida, sometimes things get a lot worse before they can get better, unfortunately. we just have to keep trying! Good thoughts coming your way!
I think I exceeded my goals, which is a rare thing.
I have Nicki's book on my iPad. She still doesn't believe me though.
Divergent and Night Circus are on my list to be read soon!
I agree about finding the right books, but Blogging has really opened my eyes to some good choices. I'm hoping to get through one book a week next year, but we'll see if that happens or not!
UNDER THE DOME is awesome. I would like more time to read, too, but I can settle for reading Curious George or fairytales with my son. I didn't get as much writing as I would have liked done this year, but 2012 is looking good. :)
My son just read The Hunger Games and really liked it. I am longing to read the Stephen King book, but haven't yet. I just read Wildwood and really loved it. Reminded me of traveling to Narnia. It was a good adventure.
Hope all is well and you have a wonderful New Year's Celebration. :)
I did make a few resolutions and actually completed most of them. I hope you have a wonderful new year!!! also, here is a blog award. you can find it here http://worddiaries.blogspot.com/2011/12/superstar-blogger-award.html
Ooo! Have fun reading!!
I set goals. Met some. Didn't meet others. I'm okay with it. Going to make others. Hopefully I'll meet them. :)
I've written (but not posted) my look back on 2011, which included a line about the books I read. I'd aimed for a book a month but ended up being closer to three books a month. I met two of my other goals (publish a book; write a new one) but failed on a third (edit my second book). I'm curious to see what I'll be saying at the end of 2012 now!
Alex, you had an awesoe year, from what i read!
Mama Zen, Divergent is great!
JA, I have gotten great recommendations from you all too!
Christine, my brain might be ready for Curious George after Under the Dome!
Heather, my boys read and liked HG too - and I will have to check out Wildwood - you should try Variant!
Ms Saba, really? wow, thanks! happy 2012 to you too!
Peggy, I always hate to disappoint myself so I don't set goals too high - I'm going for it this year!
Deb, yay for you! you have so many followers, too (judging by your comments)! keep going!
I think you did a great job on your reading! Are you on Goodreads too? It helps me keep track of what I read and what I want to read next.

I don't really do the New-Year-Resolution-thinggie... instead I prefer to set realistic & attainable goals.
Hope you have an awesome & blessed New Year, TTT - thanks for the loyal support during 2011.
See you in 2012...
