Books I read in 2011

Sadly my List isn't very long this year.
If I would read instead of getting on these dang electronics we wouldn't have this problem.
Maybe this year will be better...

  1. Through Painted Deserts: Donald Miller.
  2. Before I say Goodbye: Mary Higgins Clark
  3. The Red Tent: Anita Diamant*
  4. The Girl Who Played with Fire: Stieg Larsson*
  5. The Last Valentine: James Michael Pratt
  6. The Rescue: Nicholas Sparks
  7. Wednesdays Letters: Jason F. Wright
  8. Something Borrowed: Emily Griffiths
  9. Love the one you with: Emily Griffiths
  10. Something Blue: Emily Griffiths
  11. The Note Book: Nicholas Sparks
  12. The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane: Katherine Howe
  13. A Town like Alice: Nevil Shute
  14. All by Myselves: Jeff Duhnam
  15. Friendship Bread: Darien Gee
  16. How to Bake the Perfect Life: Barbara O'Neal
  17. What's your Number: Karyn Bosnak
  18. One Fifth: Candice Bushnell
  19. Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children: Ransom Riggs
  20. Beachcombers: Nancy Thayer
  21. 22 Britannis Road: Amanda Hodgekinson*
  22. Julie & Julia: Julie Powell

I was quite disappointed in my list. 
Not just because it is short but because there isn't very many good ones on here.  A lot were fast and easy.
And there were some that I bought for dirt cheap when Borders went out of business. Maybe I should have got a clue when they were still on the shelf even after they were marked way way down. 
I put stars by the ones I recommend.  22 Britannis Road was my favorite of the year.  And I love the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series but only read if you don't have a weak stomach and don't mind language and sex.  Now what are your recommendations for me to read this year?

We read a couple of the same books this year. I also read Beachcombers, because the main character is named Abbie Fox, so how could I not. LOL. I think I'll keep a list of the books I read this year too and add to my blog. Let me know if you come across anything good.
