JC 1010E

It's officially up and running. I've spent several weeks to get this site designed and importing all of my old posts and comments, and it's finally done! If you've been following my old blog, you probably noticed that I hadn't written for several months, in spite of my goal earlier in the year. The reason for that is because I didn't feel like the blog was going in the direction that I was hoping. I was blogging about things that weren't really that interesting to me.

There are tons of books that could have made it on to this list. Definitely some of the books from my other top lists of 2010 were left off this list in order to provide a broader range of books highlighted on my blog.

I read a lot of series this year, and I read a lot of really good series. See my favorite audiobooks from 2010 to find some other great series.

As promised, here's the first of my top lists from 2010. Note that there are books that I liked more than some on this list, but they will be featured in some of my other lists to come, so I wanted to give as wide a variety of books as possible. Enjoy!

After reading Tyler's book stats, I wanted to do some stats of my own. Here you go:

Total books read: 265
Total pages read: 102,352
Average book length: 386 pages
Average rating: 3.86 out of 5

I can't believe it's already 2011. 2010 was a great year and I grew a lot over the year and I accomplished a lot. In an effort to improve in different areas of my life, here are 3 of my goals for 2011.

I don't know the best way to explain this plugin, so watch the video that I created that shows the plugin in action. The link that I use in the screencast is below.

Just found this cool widet that Goodreads offers. Here are all the books from my 2009 list, arranged by the date I read them:

It's already February, but since I had a request to see my favorite books that I read from last year, here is the list. It looks like I read about 65 books last year and this year I am on pace to read over 100 as I have already read 25. This list only contains books that I completed in 2009.

I got a Kindle last week and have been unable to put it down. I have been reading practically nonstop while not a work. My Kindle was an unexpected gift and I have been grateful to have it.
