2011 Book List

I told myself that I should read at least 50 books last 2010. Sadly, I only clocked at 39 in my 2010 Book List. But then the list I'm keeping here at the domain doesn't include my manga volume reads which I remember taking up the slump time in August. Checking my Shelfari account, it says that I've read 51 books. So I guess I did sorta reach my target? XD Anyway, new year, new list! Target again for this year is 50 books!

I've read 51 titles in it! Yay! More than half! 21 of which are books that I really love. ♥ Loretta Chase is already in my TBR list but it's kinda hard to get a hold of her backlist. Whenever I see Lisa Kleypas' contemporary titles, I always have second thoughts if I should read it or not. I guess since they're in this list that means that she won't disappoint at all. So I'm adding that to my TBR pile too. At least now, I have a few more books to kick-off my 2011 reading. :D

This is the random musings and thoughts of an average girl who goes by the name of Teckie though sometimes she's more commonly known as Tec. She loves anime, manga, video games, movies and romance novels. She's obsessing over Jensen Ackles and wishes that one of these days that they go off and marry... or at least have some hot sex together. Since she's a flighty and ecclectic little girl, you'll find her lurking in numerous other fandoms.
