Camy here! As 2011 draws to a close, how did you do on your reading goals for the year? (Did you have any reading goals? LOL)I wanted to read more Love Inspired Suspenses but didn’t read as many as I wanted to. I just didn’t have time! I did read a rare historical romance since I happened to get a copy I wouldn’t otherwise have gotten my hands on--my friend Becca Whitham let me borrow Practice to Deceive by Patricia Veryan, which is selling for $40 on Amazon for just a “Good” grade used copy! (I love Becca, by the way!)
I got a chance to read an advance copy of Saving Hope by Margaret Daley, a romantic suspense that’s the first book in the Men of the Texas Rangers series. It was so awesome! I love Margaret’s Love Inspired Suspense novels, but this is her first single title novel and it’s terrific!
I also reread an old book I loved when I was a teenager, Regency Miss by Alix Melbourne. This was actually the very first Regency romance I ever read, and I loved it. As an entree into Regency romances, it was perfect. I read it again to see if it was as good as I remember, and it was. :)
For this coming year, my goal is again to try to read all the Love Inspired Suspense novels each month. I really love them, but I just don’t have time to read them all. I’m also “reading” several books on audiobook, like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which is on my MP3 player for me to listen to when I go running.
{{You can get Mp3 players to listen to audiobooks from Office Depot deals and find other players that are great for audiobooks.}}
What did you read this year? What are you hoping to read next year?

I didn't have any reading goals for 2011, but I do for 2012.
I want to read at least one nonfiction and one classic each month. I guess I need to pick which ones I'm going to read for January.
I can completely relate about that being "your century"! I love the Regency period, although I will foray into Georgian (late 1800s) and Victorian sometimes if the storyline looks good. I rarely venture outside of those time periods when I read historical fiction.
