A 50 Book Milestone (And Knitting Stuff)

In 2008 I read 16 books.
In 2009 I read 12.
2010 has been a banner year (and it's not over yet!)

I give you books #19, #20, #21 and #22:

#19
Suzy Who? by Winifred Madison
Back in the late 70's early 80's there was a series of marketed-to-teens romance novels. Oh my gosh I loved them. I still remember the girl who introduced me to them (Thank you, Susan!) and I begged my parents for two boxed sets for the holidays that year. Yes, I still have most of them and yes, I plan on reading a lot of them during the YA Read Along next year. Since I can't wait until next year, I'm re-reading the ones with the late 70's copyrights. Saccharine sweet brain candy. You can't get any better than that when you want to escape reality.

#20
Border-line Personalities: A New Generation of Latinas Dish on Sex, Sass, & Cultural Shifting edited by Robyn Moreno and Michelle Herrera Mulligan
Now you know where that ¿Quién soy yo? post came from. :-)

#21
I'm Christy by Maud Johnson
Another from the series I mentioned above. Apparently this is the first in a series about Christy and Mike. I have not read the other two; in fact, I didn't even know they existed until this week! Like Suzy Who? this is fun brain candy.

#22
Rules of Surrender by Christina Dodd
Trashy romance...'nuff said.

(Amazing what a week off from work and bad literary taste can accomplish, eh?)

Ok. Now for some knitting stuff. I found this at mamakass' blog Knits in a Lively Breeze. It reminds me of the book thingy going on over on facebook (You know, the one where you bold the books you've read and put the ones you started but didn't finish in italics?) So, what would your list look like?

Bold for stuff you’ve done, italics for stuff you plan to do one day, and normal for stuff you’re not planning on doing:
