I followed your progress and you chose better books than I did. *g* I'm also continuing on my personal quest to read more fantasy and sci-fi this year.Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-50001548063317263692012-01-10T21:42:43.358-05:002012-01-10T21:42:43.358-05:00Sorry to hear about your mishap with your Stats. O...Sorry to hear about your mishap with your Stats. Oops! There was a glitch one time with mine that I had nothing to do with and the numbers shifted drastically out of nowhere so I practically stopped paying attention to it anyway. *shrug* <br /><br />As for the In Death Challenge-- no need to feel shame! Sheesh.. it's supposed to be fun. If you feel like reading them, they're there... and you know where you can find plenty of people willing to talk about the books! :) <br /><br />I read three of the books from the Women of Fantasy Book Club. Two ended up being among my favorites of 2012. I'm going to try to read more fantasy this year. <br /><br />Amazing job at 202 books total!

I think you'll love it... AND,<br /><br />I wish for you 2012 a great stress-free, reading year too! [We can always hope] :) ((Hugs))<br /><br />Leslie, it turned out to be a good reading year for me. Not bad. :) There are still so many books I missed...

Tha...Hils, I somehow missed this post - apologies.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the mention. Yes, I agree it was wonderful and finally meeting in person was one of the best for 2011 for me as well.<br /><br />WOW 202 books read! You're an inspiration! I was not able to overcome the craziness of life and work in 2011 and my reading did suffer, but I am optimistic for 2012.<br /><br />I hadn't realized that you accidentally erased your numbers - definitely worst moment worthy of a Psycho Scream.<br /><br />LOL on the fluttering fangirl re: Mr. Jeffers - but completely understand. I would have fluttered as well. And yes <i>Abode of Bliss</i> IS in my TBR for 2012. Come hell or high water I WILL read that novel.<br /><br />I hope your 2012 is as fruitful with no Psycho Scream moments.<br /><br />IndieIndigenehttp://theindiereviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-43889200012856557692012-01-05T19:52:16.922-05:002012-01-05T19:52:16.922-05:00Nath, last year...

I lost two years worth of blogging #'s... visitors, page loads, reviews visited... everything. Oh well. It's over. But I did look like the picture I posted at the time LOLOL! <br /><br />No In-Death books! At all! And no, I'm not blaming Vanessa... *g* As far as my numbers go? Who knows how many books I read, lol! I kept finding books I read in my Kindle, in Goodreads... books that I never recorded in my blog, books that I never recorded at Goodreads. Sigh... after a while I decided to go with what I had down. <br /><br />But yes! I like the mix I read last year, it's a good balance. :) <br /><br />Li, those were great moments. Definitely my favorite moments. I'm glad you enjoyed reading about them.<br /><br />LOL on the In-Death books! I didn't read enough to burn out on them. I think I just had too many stressful situations and commitments and decided to let go of that one thing during the year to make things easier on myself. :(Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-35177864269155479132012-01-05T15:13:42.615-05:002012-01-05T15:13:42.615-05:00Nice wrap-up post!

Especially in January. Imagine if you've lost your numbers in March or September? Ohhhh the frustration.<br /><br />No In Death books at all?!? LOL, you probably burned out on them in 2010. That or your daughter stole them all LOL.<br /><br />Your numbers are really good :) Tell you the truth, I thought your total books read would be higher. Perhaps because I always seem to catch you in one of your reading phase... but 202 is really good! You beat me by 1 book :)<br /><br />I think you mix it up well also :) Anyway, wishing that 2012 will be even better!!nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-69257483291691212922012-01-05T07:58:28.022-05:002012-01-05T07:58:28.022-05:00Ames, yes... that LGBT # was a good one. :) Ohhh t...Ames, yes... that LGBT # was a good one. :) Ohhh twitter, I also have it all over my devices.

I have it on my phone, laptop and ipad and...yeah, rarely use it. I'm too shy to just insert myself into other people's conversations.
