Okay! Here are my totals for 2010:

I read a total of 36 books (I know, a paltry number compared to many of you, but remember, I have to balance my reading with my writing them for YOU to read! :) ).

Of that 36, five were biographies, three were straight fantasies, two were historical, two were historical romances (which moves them more to the fiction side than the historicals which were more factual based), one was Literature (with a capital L and nose in the air), five were young adult and eighteen were romances.


And here's the full list:

Play safe!

PS. I apologize for the lack of decent columns. There really should be a way to put a table into a blog post!

None of the above. I have a few of the books on your list sitting on my shelf to be read, but haven't read them yet.
