This is the one about books.

I finished reading my 30th, 31st and 32nd book this year. 

Number 30 was a piece of non-fiction (I know!) called Say Everything: How blogging began, what it’s becoming, and why it matters.  Don’t waste your time on this book.  It’s written by Scott Rosenberg (the same guy that wrote Dreaming in Code) and it’s incredibly bogged down with history and quotes.  Total snoozefest.

The 31st book I read was The Model Millionaire a collection of short Oscar Wilde stories.  Loved it. 

And the 32nd book I read in 2010 was Mary Anne Saves The Day  the fourth in the Babysitters Club series.  Don’t judge me…but out of these three titles, I liked the Babysitters Club book the best.  In this book, Mary Anne saves the day in a few ways: she repairs the friendship of the all the Club members after a big fight, she takes this little brat she’s sitting to the hospital because she had a fever of 104, and she sets her father up on a Parent-Trap-like date with Dawn’s mother.  Drama!  Loved it.

In other book news, I’ve talked to my friend Jennifer about setting up a book club here in the Phoenix area.  Who’s in?
