Books by male authors: 31.
Books by female authors: 62.

Your total books read (93) is terrific! That's still a lot of books! Good luck with your goal this year. :)
ReplyDeleteJoy: I'm only a little disappointed with the outcome. I do think that 2012 will be my year! :)
ReplyDeleteBravo!
ReplyDeleteIs hiding in a corner with the few that I read...oh well...maybe this is my year!
WOW! that's a lot of books! I love my kindle, but hate to say I have very little time to read. :(
ReplyDeleteThat's really impressive! I thought my 19 was pretty good! I've been keeping a list on my blog too. I wrote down the names of your 5 star books and want to check them out. I did read Hugo Cabret again this year and LOVED the movie! Thanks for your great blog!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome numbers for the year!! More than half of my reads this year were via audio--love being able to multitask (ie, drive to work and "read" at the same time).
ReplyDeleteHappy 2012!
