Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas! Apart from Mr S and I having horrible colds we still managed to have a really good break. I have to admit that I have already taken the tree and decorations down and I am looking forward to the year ahead!
Santa was extremely kind to me this year as you can see from the pile of books that were waiting for me under the tree. Here's what I received:
  • The Behaviour of Moths by Poppy Adams- I have heard many good things about this, I shall probably read this next.
  • Forever Amber by Kathleen Winsor- I have wanted to read this for so long, it always seems to appear on lists of must read books.
  • Dear Me, A Letter To My Sixteen Year-Old Self edited by Joseph Galliano- my lovely sister bought me this for Christmas and it is lovely, I've been dipping in and out of it, certainly makes a lovely present.
  • The Time of My Life by Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi- this is the slightly embarrassing acquisition but I am a bit of a Swayze fan so this made it's way on to the wish list!
I managed 64 books in 2009 and I am going to aim for 100 in 2010 so wish me luck!

Yay -- you had a great bookish Christmas! I'm aiming for 100 books read in 2010, too, so we can encourage each other! hehe

Meg- We shall definitely have to encourage each other, I managed to read more in 2009 then I did in 2009 so I think I am on the right track!
