Fall Into Reading 2009 Wrap Up Post

I can't believe its over already. This is one of my favorite reading challenges. I really didn't stick to my list very well this time though. I am going to link to my original list and below is a list of what I actually read. I think I read about 25 off of my original list. Overall I read 71 books. I am putting some of my favorites in bold. I enjoyed most of what I read. The only one I really did not like was Cricket on the Hearth. It did not make a lot of sense to me. Paper Towns and Her Fearful Symmetry were a little disturbing. I had a lot of fun and I look forward to participating again next year. :)
