I finished the year by reading a book by one of my all time favorite authors, so it was a great way to end the year.

For 2012 I'm doing something a little different. I'm still going to count the number of books I read, but I will be counting the total number of pages I read this year as well (books, journal articles, magazines), as part of a read off friend/fellow blogger over at Living in Iowa came up with. More details of this will be posted later this week.
