2011 Reads

With my total reads for the year reaching 112 total, I have surpassed my goal of 100 books and also topped my personal best of 101 books read in a year. I had a very good reading year, not just in quantity of books but in the quality and depth of the books that I read. I would definitely rate my top 2 books of the year as Radical by David Platt and Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman. A close 3rd would be Jesus + Nothing = Everything by Tullian Tchividjian. Top fiction was definitely The Queen by Steven James.
I discovered the author Barbara Delinsky and read my first read by Michael Horton, both authors I will definitely continue to read. Getting the Kindle this year was also a factor in my reading as I was able to get books for review through Netgalley as a result of having the Kindle. I also enjoyed taking advantage of my library's inter-library loan system. This coming year will most likely be a smaller year in quantity read as I plan to tackle several chunksters I've been eyeing for a while.
