I for one, would love to see your list. As for the lenght of the list, you
can't judge by me. I am a book nut. As a librarian, I feel I have to read quite
a bit (it's a good thing I enjoy it so much), and frankly, I'd rather read than
sleep. Also, about 14 or so of the books I read in January were children's
books, which are much shorter and quicker to read and one was an audio book.
When I was working, I had a 45 minute one way commute. I got hooked on audio
books and I ended up adding at least 5 books a month to my list. I've found
that peoples postings range from a couple of books to quite a few. And
everyone seems to have different numbers each month. You never know who might
be inspired to read a book because they saw it on your list. Word of mouth
(word of email) is one of the best ways to find out about good books.

Here are my reads for January. Keep in mind that I am unemployed
children's librarian, so I had the chance to read quite a few books
in January. And if you haven't read a children's picture book in a
while - you should treat yourself. Check out this year's Caldecott
Winner - Flotsam by David Wiesner. Of the fiction books I read in
January, The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak was by far the best. The
girl's love of books really touched me. Also, The Time Traveler's
Wife by Neffinger (which I read as part of a bookring was very
engrossing. It's a long book, but well worth the read.
