Compared to a few years ago, my book count is meager. Only 45 books, where I was reading around 75/year for a while. However, this is not surprising, as I switched jobs in late 2008 and no longer spend every lunch hour immersed in a book (this is a good thing, because it means I have a social group at work), plus I knit a lot more than I did before. I also don’t have the same commute I did before, so I’m not listening to as many audiobooks. That said, here is my list for 2009, in alphabetical order, at least as accurate as my LibraryThing account, anyway!
