Wow. I haven't kept a tally of how many books I've read, simply because I tend not to post opinions of all of them, especially if they've already been reviewed by a blogger, but I'm sure I'm no where near the total you have. WOW!
OMG ... 305 books! That has to be some kind of a record. I honestly don't think I've seen anyone's list that has a higher amount than that and I read a LOT of blogs.
Congratulations on a very impressive reading year!
I absolutely loved this post and will be referencing for books to read in 2011!! Great year of reading Nise!!
Okay. All I can say is "WOW!". You are a reading machine. What a great reading year you had---I can't even imagine reading that many, nor writing all those reviews! ;)
Happy New Year....
*smiles*
Wow! Very impressive stats! I see some on your list that I hope to get to this year, like the Stieg Larsson books.
I loved South of Broad this year.
Hope to read more books, but I was quite happy with what I did.
Here's my Musing:

305?!?!?! No wonder you do so well on my quizzes :)
Wow, I'm in awe of how many books you've read! What a great idea to list your favorites of each month. I may still that next year.
