A while back I asked for your favorite reads and got a lot of great recommendations. This past year as a nanny I was able to do a lot of reading and am still trying to keep it up even if it's only a page or two a day. Here's a list of some of the books I've read this year in no particular order. I didn't finish one or two of them (either due to boredom or getting sucked into another novel first and never being motivated enough to remember where I left off) but they were all worthwhile.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Betty Smith
