Books Read in 2008

We have always been big readers.  We both grew up as literature lovers and books remain a large part of our lives today.  At the beginning of 2008 we decided to keep track of the books we were reading and see just how many we went through in a year.  What follows are our lists.  We were both surprised at just how much we do read.  As expected, Julie read the most with 63 books.  Pete managed to get through 48.  We’ve started our 2009 list and you can check it out here.  Enjoy.

Books in green were favorites.

Books in red were ones we particularly didn’t like.
