2011 New Year's Resolutions Recap & Check-In

This somehow did not post back in January, so I will re-post it now...

Unfortunately, I did not quite reach my goal of 52-books read/listened to in 2011 - I was 11 books shy.

Since my post on July 5th, here are the additional books I read in 2011:

(24) The Brothers Bulger: How They Terrorized and Corrupted Boston for a Quarter Century by Howie Carr
(25) The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollen
(26) The Final Solution: A Story of Detection by Michael Chabon
(27) The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac
(28) Big Sur by Jack Kerouac
(29) The Anti-Romantic Child: A Story of Unexpected Joy by Priscilla Gilman
(30) A Stolen Life: A Memoir by Jaycee Lee Dugard
(31) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
(32) Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
(33) Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling
(34) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling
(35) Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
(36) Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
(37) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkiban by JK Rowling
(38) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling
(39) Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami
(40) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling
(41) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by JK Rowling


As you can see, I got to the Harry Potter party a little late, first starting the series in the fall of 2011. I completed the final book in January 2012 and felt like my best friends moved away when I was done.

Also, I adore Emma Watson.  She is a fine role model for young girls on how to behave like a lady, and I love her head to toe style.
