Considering I also managed to finish the first draft of my WIP, do my Italian A level and work considerably more than my contracted hours, I think 88 is a pretty decent total. I'd be surprised if I manage as many this year, but I'm hoping more of them will be in Italian!

Bloody hell - 88! I only managed to read 11 books in 2009, that's less than one a month (and I read two of the eleven during my Christmas holidays!). My new year's resolution is to ban myself from reading magazines and read books instead. Hopefully it'll help up my numbers a bit (my TBR pile is towering!)

Unfortunately, my TBR pile is proportional... I basically have a TBR wall, which is encroaching on my living space and may collapse, taking out half of Manchester with it!
