So, here's a quick recount of the 80 books I can actually remember reading last year:

Series:
Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries (7 books)
Meg Cabot's Mediator Series (6 books)
Meg Cabot's Heather Wells Mysteries (3 books)
Susan Elizabeth Phillips' Chicago Stars Series (7 books)
Jim Butcher's Dresden Files (9 books)
Terry Pratchett's Discworld (10 books)
Shanna Swendson's Katie Chandler books (3 books)

I also read 16 other assorted romance novels, 9 sci-fi/fantasy, 4 chick lit, 5 Meg Cabot books not already categorized, and Sherman Alexie's Flight.

Yeah, that last one's pretty much an oddball. I really jumped hard on the romance/YA band wagon last year. Man.

I don't expect to read nearly as many novels in this new year. Mostly because I got lucky last year and stumbled head-first into a number of awesome previously-established series with a backlog of stuff for me to get acquainted with.

Irregardless, I'm going to try and post reviews and "series overviews" for the stuff I read last year in addition to every book I read this ¥ear (which I've already started with the previous Big Boned entry). The rationale behind all the book posts is that I'd like to have a record somewhere of my initial take and that I suck at reviews in general and need to practice. Ah, discipline. Bring it on, bitches.
