I've decided to keep a running total of all the books I read in 2011 in one post. Hopefully this will make it easier for me to keep track of them. I think I'll try again for the 50 Book Challenge, but this time I'll just keep one list of books and not separate it into categories like I did last year. However, I will mark books I've read before with an asterix.
Book List 2011At what age did you stop believing in Santa?
I was nine. It was Christmas. My mother had written a letter "from Santa" for us. The only problem - my mother has really distinctive handwriting!
December 26 (1/2)
Merry Christmas
What is the best present you received this year?
The dress my mum gave me. It's a maxi dress with a very brightly coloured floral pattern and black edging. I love it :)
Well, that and the tradtional Christmas Violet Crumble. It was delicious :D
Share one thing you’d like to accomplish before the end of the year.
Read my 100th book. I'm currently reading my 88th, so it is potentially do-able - if I do nothing but read for the next 5 days straight. And as much as I love reading, I was hoping to be a bit more productive on my holidays!

First passing conversation between:
Alanna, Buri & Thayet
Any difficulties to passing:
There are many many women in this book, but Alanna’s friends and family are still mostly male. She works with either men only or a combination of men and women, never just women. Due to the events in this book, her conversations with women are mostly about men or at least involve mention of men.
