Yes, it says Top 21. I just couldn't narrow it down to Top 20! It was a good reading year, although I don't believe that I made my 100 books read goal that I had set. I came in at around 75 books read. I will try to do better this year!

I'm so glad you read The Glass Castle! I recommend it to everyone.
Ooh, what did you think of Faithful Place? I haven't read it yet. Have you read all of hers? I just posted on your Irish Challenge post, so I didn't see that you'd read at least this of Tana's so far. I read The Glass Castle also, isn't it quite a book? I still can't get over how those kids starved while their mother ate chocolate bars. It was a sad book in many ways, too. What did you think?
