books.

yesterday i finished this book. loved it. as i put it back on my shelf, i was trying to decide what to read next. i started looking through my books... and i realized that the majority of books on my shelf were purchased and read after i got married. so i started counting them and couldn't help but be impressed with myself! i've read 49 books in 39 months of marriage. sean is offended by this because he thinks it means i'm bored with him and have to resort to reading to entertain myself. but truthfully i just looove reading. i hope i can keep up the pace of 1.2 books per month once baby comes. until then, it's my goal to read a book a week. i'm trying to make a dent in all of the unread books on my shelf.

for anyone who cares, here are all 49 of the books i've read over the past 3 years. my must-reads are linked in red.
