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.
