2009 In Review

I'm still struggling to catch up on all of my backlogged reviews after a busy holiday season, but I took a few minutes today to look back over what I read in 2009. I finished a total of 84 books in 2009. Of those:
  • 12 were adult memoir
  • 22 were adult fiction
  • 1 was adult nonfiction (and not memoir)
  • 4 were adult audio books
  • 20 were books for middle-grade readers
  • 9 were middle-grade audio books
  • 13 were teen/YA books
  • 3 were teen/YA audio books
I read 56 books in 2008, so this was a big increase for me.

2009 was also the year I began keeping up my book blog more regularly and the year I began a separate blog for reviews of kids/YA books, Great Books for Kids and Teens, in addition to the reviews I write for Family Fun magazine. In 2009, I wrote and posted:
  • 33 reviews here at Book By Book
  • 39 reviews at Great Books for Kids and Teens
All in all, a good reading year!
