East of the SunEngland. India. Love Stories. Intrigue.
12.
The Hour I First BelievedI could not wait to get done with this book. Unnecessarily long.

44.
Catching FireThis is turning into a great series. It's catching!
45.
MockingjayThe final book of the Hunger Game series - Excellent twist!
I started out 2010 wondering how many books I might read. This group helped me keep up with my progress and have a good goal to reach. I'm disappointed I didn't make it, but 45 solid books is a great achievement. Pillars of the Earth is what bogged me down, I think. That took me 3+ weeks to read. Finished the year on an excellent series!

I'm a Grisham fan, but the ending to this was boring.
