Book Year/Yearbook 2009

I decided, for no good reason, to keep track of the books I’ve read this year. Partly I suppose it’s because I want to see how my new fitness regime, blog and job impact on the amount of reading I manage to get through. I’ll try to review the best in the blog itself but I’ll add links for all of them in case anyone’s interested.

OK, that was a fun wee experiment  while it lasted but basically it hasn’t beenn updated since March 24th and there’s no way in hell I can remember everything I read over the past six months so it’s over. Twenty-seven books in three months ain’t a bad tally though, one every few days? Not that it means anything significant at all, just fulfilling some personal curiosity…
