Altogether, I finished 49 books in 2008. I was a little disappointed with the final tally, but I had a hard time focusing on books. I think I just had a lot on my mind and found it difficult to concentrate on reading. Luckily, I think I'm getting back into reading a bit so I'm looking forward to finishing more books this year.

The best part about the books I did finish though is that I loved almost all of them. So while I may not have had the quantity I was looking for, I did have the quality I wanted. :)
