I love reading, I love books, and escaping into a book has been one of my favorite activities since I was a little girl. This year, I had a goal of reading 150 books, and although I ended up with a little less time for reading because of other things going on this year, I made my goal, plus six extra book.  Thank goodness for ebooks and audiobooks, which helped me find a way to get in my reading, even with all the craziness of life.  This year I read 156 books for a total of 51,373 pages, with an average of over 330 pages per book.  I may be a little out of control – ha ha!  Here is my list, and if you want to see what I thought about each of these books, be sure to check me out on goodreads.com, where I rate and review each book.

*** – a book I read with Arthur

** – a book I read with Derek

* – a book I read with Lily

^ – a reread, which means I loved the book enough the first time to read it again
