I love to read.
If you look back over the years on my blog you can see that I read a little more than a book a week, its just something I love to do. I find interesting books to read on other blogs, Facebook, on Twitter (#FridayReads), from my friends, by watching people at coffee shops and by peeking at what donors bring in to read while they give blood. I think I have a little radar that can hear the words this is a good book about a mile away.
This post marks the beginning of my reading list for 2011. As I read through out the year I will update this list and you will be able to click on and see it on the side bar of my blog. I try to put an asterisk by the really good books, and occasionally I will do a book review post.

I've just finished reading Room by Emma Donoghue.. It's amazing and gripping and a little chilling. Definitely worth reading!
Have now started The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown as light relief. It's actually an exciting read - a remake of The Da Vinci Code, if you like.
Do you read nonfiction? Any must reads you can send my way?? Love the blog!
