I read 56 books last year but didn't keep up with this blog to list them. Perhaps I'll do better this year. Perhaps not.

1. The Monkey's Raincoat by Robert Crais
2. Critical Care: A New Nurse Faces Death, Life and Everything In Between by Theresa Brown
3. Death of a Gossip by M.C. Beaton
4. You are Not Forgotten: the Story of a Lost World War II Pilot and a Twenty-First Century Soldier's Mission to Bring Him Home by Bryan Bender (audio)
5, Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
FEBRUARY
6. Mint Julep Murder by Carolyn G. Hart
7. Trust No One by Gregg Hurwitz (audio)
8. Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend by Susan Orlean
9. The Light Between Oceans by ML Stedman (audio)

MARCH

10. Eleanor the Queen by Norah Lofts
11. While the City Slept by Eli Sanders
12. The Last Judgement by Iain Pears (audio)
13. Fallen Beauty by Erika Robuck
14. The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein (audio)
15. Deadbeats by Chris Lackey

So far so good! The fact that these are all books I've had on my shelves for a while makes it even sweeter. I've been trying very hard to read down a stack or two. I have so many books that it's going to be impossible to finish them all before... well, you know. I would need to live for at least another 150 years to get all of these read, especially at the rate of one per week. Baby steps, kiddo, baby steps.
