Books books books!

In 2006, I read 78 books. I beat last year's total, which I was aiming to do. Hopefully I will beat 78 in this coming year.

Anyway, here's how it broke down:
71 were fiction books
7 were non-fiction.

Of those books:
11 were by Canadian authors
64 were by women authors (although it's not 64 women authors in total, since I read several books by the same author over the year)
and 38 were classified as Young Adult books.

Ones I really enjoyed:
Mud Girl - Alison Acheson
Arkansas: 3 Novellas - David Leavitt
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Mark Haddon
and Beauty Tips from Moosejaw: Travels in Search of Canada - Will Ferguson.

Next year, I should aim to increase my non-fiction reading.

Let's all got to the movies...

Holy crap, I watched a lot of movies in 2006: 217!

Of those, 15 were seen in theatres, and 43 were TV on DVD seasons.

Damn.

Faves:
Veronica Mars Season 2
Little Miss Sunshine
Stranger Than Fiction
Twitch City (finally!)
and Severed: Forest of the Dead (I finally got to see the Canadian zombie movie!!)

Although there were a lot more that I enjoyed, those just stick out in my head.

I will try to watch less movies this year, because damn! That's a lot of sitting around, and I didn't knit or do other crafting, or pack for moving for a lot of that time, and that's a little sickening to think about.
