Hello book blob, it’s been awhile. Finally finally, despite my best efforts to push you away amidst toddler tantrums and household mayhem, I’ve come back to you. So sorry it’s been so long. I’m trying to turn over a new leaf and get back on track with reading the below titles for 2010. It makes me a better person, for reals.
Far from the 5o book challenges I have done in the past, below is the list of 26 books from 2008/2009 that I never had the time to even glance at let alone read. With two children and ever-increasing list of work duties, 26 books seems way more realistic than 50.
And so, the list for 2010:
