What an interesting year. I started blogging regularly and kept it up. I've made new friends in other book bloggers, authors and people who comment on my blog. In my personal life I have had two brain surgeries and I am hopefully on the road to recovery finally after 2 years of not knowing exactly what was wrong with me.
Thanks so much to all of you who have stopped by my blog, commented on my blog or to you authors and publicists who have sent me books to review. I love reading and reviewing and I am looking forward to another great year.

Congratulations on a very productive year! You kept great stats!
Wishing you a safe, healthy, happy 2010!
I enjoyed your favorites list. I really, really liked The Hunger Games and The Weight of Silence, too.
So glad you're on the mend! How do you keep track of all of what you've read?
This is Kar, btw - Blogspot's not letting me sign in for some reason...
Kar - I'm a Excel geek - I have this detailed spreadsheet I use to keep track :) It makes me happy and it's interesting to look back at.
Hi Crystal.
You should try BookSwim.com. It's the only service where you can rent newly released hardcover and paperback titles from The New York Times Best Sellers List.
