It's Magical Happy Fantastic Funfunfun Poll Time!
So this year, I completed the fifty book challenge, although I failed it as a Hundred Book Challenge, largely due to my insistence upon occasionally reading big grown-up books. (The only year I ever completed the Hundred Book Challenge was the year I had a regress-into-childhood meltdown the first half of the year and my friends staged a "Make Clare Discover Graphic Novels Right Now" movement the second half.)
This, of course, does NOT include all the books, ebooks, and textbooks that I read and/or edited for any of my jobs this year, because I don't much keep track of those. If I did, I'd probably have at least five hundred volumes, even without counting repeated readings (like the eighty-odd times I've at least skimmed the entire text of John Macionis' Society: The Basics. Oh mah gawd).
Anyway, please mark any of the following books which you have ever read! I think you can log in to poll using Facebook/Twitter/etc., for my non-LJ-using readers (by which I mean: Hi, Mom!). Let me know if you can't and I will try to fix it.
Rereads are marked with an asterisk.
[Poll #1807515]
By the Numbers (does not include the unfinished one):
63 books: 44 fiction, 19 nonfiction
40 authors: 21 female, 19 male
Rereads: 10
You know what would be awesome? If you left me recommendations for next year! Because my TBR pile isn't, um, big enough. *eyes enormous TBR pile and lengthy Amazon wishlist* Anyway.
