Books Read in 2011

As promised, here is my list of books read in 2011. I really liked this idea of keeping a record, and I plan on continuing it. This year I have really expanded my previous reading material and have read many different kinds of books and really liked doing so. My book taste has been much more eclectic as I have read fiction, non fiction, young adult novels, historical fiction, dystopian, fantasy, memoirs, fairy tale retellings, paranormal, inspirational, and holiday. I plan on continuing to expand my reading material this next year and I already have more books than I can read planned for next year. I am sure the list will only get longer. Here is the list of the books I have read this year in order:

Almost all of the books I have read this year I have really liked, some of them I loved! Here are pictures of some of my favorites from this year:



Samuel wanted to include his little list of books he read this year as well. He was very proud:
1. The Longest Day: The Classic Epic of D-Day by Cornelius Ryan
2. Calvin and Hobbes: Weirdos From Another Planet by Bill Watterson
3. Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis by Lisa Sanders (He had almost finished this one before he misplaced it, so he will finish it once he finds it again)
4. The Kolob Theorem by Lynn M Hilton (Half of it, he still needs to finish the rest)
5. Massacre at Mountain Meadows by Ronald W Walker and others

I hope you all found some good books to read this year as well!
