365 days... 200 books.

So my main goal for 2011, apart from losing weight, is to read 200 different books. Not necessarily 200 new books that I haven't read before. I LOVE re-reading books but for this list I can only count one reading of all the books I like to read a lot. For example, I read the Harry Potter series about 9 or 10 times a year, and have actually already read it twice since the 1st but I can only count them once.

Considering that it's already 25 days into 2011, I have already read some books. I have read:
1. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
7. Harry Potter and the Deathy Hallows.
8. Beyond the Deepwoods - Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell
9. Stormchaser - Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell
10. Midnight Over Sanctaphrax - Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell
11. Empire of Silver - Conn Iggulden
12. Ptolemy's Gate - Jonathan Stroud
13. Oath Breaker - Michelle Paver
14. Ghost Hunter - Michelle Paver
15. Heaven's Net is Wide - Lian Hearn
16. The Harsh Cry of the Heron - Lian Hearn
17. Dead to the World - Charlaine Harris
18. Dead as a Doornail - Charlaine Harris
19. All Together Dead - Charlaine Harris
20. Definitely Dead - Charlaine Harris
21. All Together Dead - Charlaine Harris
22. From Dead to Worse - Charlaine Harris

So that's so far (not in order of how I read them BTW). Yeah I know, most of them are children's books but I like reading books that I enjoy and can read in about an hour. I must reiterate that the True Blood books (the ones by Charlaine Harris ) were read when I was very ill and I couldn't concentrate on much else. (Harry Potter got read twice when I was ill as well. :p )
