I’d like to wish everyone the best for the New Year, may 2009 bring you happiness in all you do.
The photo above is of the Halifax Waterfront area where all of our major fireworks happen, although tonight may not prove very successful considering the Blizzard warnings … durrr :P
I plan to snuggle up warm and cozy with some books, but for everyone else who plans to celebrate this New Year, have a fantastic time and please be safe.
My year has been very good, in terms of reading. I had wanted to read at least 100 books and I met that goal sometime in early Fall. Another wonderful thing for me in 2008 was my discovery of the book blogging community. I would never have guessed how much of an impact blogging would have on me, all positive. Not only do I enjoy writing about what I read, but I absolutely love reading what others have to say. This is a community that I am proud to be a part of, I’ve come across so many awesome people here. The best part for me is that everyone has different opinions and perspectives on books, but everyone is accepting and respectful. You’re all rock stars!
And now onto my wrap-up of my reading year. I mainly only keep track of authors, titles and page counts, but I got a bit carried away with my spreadsheet this year :P
