My Life According to the Books I Read in 2011

This is a fun meme to do at the end of the year as you reflect on all the book titles you've read throughout the year. This year marks the third year I've done this one, so it's officially become an annual tradition for me. I was thrilled to see so many of you joining this meme in the last two years and I hope you decide to do it this year, too! Hopefully you've kept track of what you read this year! It helps.

If you decide to do this meme--which I hope you all do!-- please come back and add your post below with Mr. Linky. This way we can find everyone's posts easily. After you've posted your meme, simply type your name in the top box below and copy and paste the link to your My Life According to the Books I Read in 2011 post on your blog in the link box. I hope you join in--it's a lot of fun! I can't wait to see what answers you come up with!

Using only titles of books that you read this year (2011), complete the prompts below. Try not to repeat any book titles. Think creatively and have fun!

  15. I love reading the answers to this meme. It is interesting to read what each person has read over the year and how they, in a sense, see themselves. :)

    I've done this meme the past two years and it reflects my life -- to a point -- and I can see what changes there have been over the years. It is a very nice meme to do annually not to mention a great reading tradition. :)

  27. This is such a fun way to remember your yearly reads!! I don't think I read enough books to have any clever answers but I like yours--especially the Dragon Bound transportation. Will remember this next year if you do again.
