2009 Reading Review

At this time last year, I set a goal to read more. My goal was 50 books for the year - and I was documenting each as I read it. I have shared some of the reviews on this blog, but many of what I read I didn't post reviews for. So, I'm going to share a list of what I read over the course of 2009. Some of these books were read more than once - mostly for the purpose of editing. My favorites are in purple.
