Last year I managed to read 24 books, which was quite disappointing. So 2011 started with a goal of beating that number and getting to a total of 50 books.

7 months into the year and I have reached 25 books! The Kindle is definitely facilitating quick access to all the books I can ever want and I find I’m not really using my Librarywala subscription.

Here is a list of my conquests so far :)

1. The Girl who played with Fire – Steig Larsson

*Ok, maybe I included the Famous Fives to just rack up the numbers…. But hey, they are books, I really did read them and enjoyed them immensely! I also read a bunch of Archies (on a really cool comics app on the iPad – so don’t judge) which I have not included!

 

I’m currently reading the below two books and have a nice exciting list of ‘to reads’ lined up
