Some emails:
"Where did you go?" "Are you reading anymore?" "Did you finish your book?" "Why don't you post?"
2010 has been a challenging year, so my book reviews (and Books for Breakfast) were swept under the bed to mix with dog hair and dust bunnies. However, how could I completely neglect my baby?
Books for Breakfast is coming back with even more craziness for 2011. But, first, a recap:
2006 - read 150 books in one year
2007 - read 90 of the top 100 books to read, as well as focused on banned books
2008 - read from the 1001 books to read before you die list
2009 - read whatever I wanted
2010 - read recommendations from blog readers
For 2011, I'm expanding upon the idea for 2010. You tell me what to read - email, post here, or send something to the Facebook group. I am only going to read recommendations and Nook books.
Using the "share" option, you can email your library recommendations to me (if you have a nook, too). Or, send an idea to me, and I will put it on my to-do list. However, Nook requests will take priority. ;-)
Goal: 175 books. I will beat my former record with everyone's help.
Cheers! Thanks for sticking with me through the past few months... I am grateful!
Books for Breakfast - Book Reviews With a Twist: A blog about books. And cocktails. Nothing is more literary than alcoholism.

Glad to see you're still around! A few of my favorite books that I read this year, I'll recommend are:
Beloved by Toni Morrison
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia
When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead
Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose
Let me know if you've read any of them. Too bad I don't have a Nook!
Oh I wish I had a Nook!! I'll be waiting to see what recommendations you receive and I'll think of some. I'm glad to see you're still here =)
Some books I liked last year were:
Homeland by Barbara Hambly
Zoo Station by David Downing
Birthmarked by Caragh O'Brien
Thanks, all! Lists noted... if you don't see my responses, it may be because I've read the books or have already reviewed them.
Keep the ideas (and books) coming!
