Total books-99
1001 books-14
Books by Males- 45
Books by Females-51
Compilations-4
Fic-60
Non Fic-39

I may read Bonjour Tristesse by Francoise Sagan in the next few days which would then take me to my target of 100 books with 15% being 1001 books-if I get time.

Definitely the most even split of a years books comparing males/females, and probably fic/non fic too.

I am going to make some reading resolutions for 2010 - one of which will be to read more books that I already own!

My December 2009 reads

Classic Football Debates settled Once and For All- danny Baker and Danny Kelly
Skipping Christmas- John Grisham
Arctic Monkeys- Seamus Craig
Have a Little Faith- Mitch Albom
Dear Me- Letter to my 16 year old self- Misc.
Baby Next Time- Nicole Klieff
The midwives Apprentice- Karen Cushman
A Random History of Football- Colin Murray

Have a Little Faith was a book which impacted on me- Mitch Albom manages to be thought provoking and stimulating whilst also being sentimental, without being sickening....perfect. I also really enjoyed Skipping Christmas to get me in the festive mood.
