Looking back at my list, I fund some interesting habits and patterns in my reading. For instance, you can tell when I have a lot of things happening in my life because I didn't read as much as I normally would. Also, I tend to lean more towards mystery and chic lit with some romance thrown in. The young adult books that I read are mainly for work rather than for my own enjoyment, which is pretty sad since I used to enjoy them more. Does this mean I'm growing up?
