So, I had a goal to read 100 books in 2007. Unfortunately, I missed that goal. But, I did read 77 books! That’s good, right? In order to not bog you down with all 77 books in one post, I’m going to spread them out over the next week or so, finishing with a list of the best and the worst for the year.

But until that best and worst list, I wanted to have some kind of ranking. Stars are boring. Thumbs up and down are bleh. So, I’ve been racking my mind, trying to figure out something fun and creative.  And this is the only thing I could come up with: pillows. Because I read at night, and if it’s a good book, I’ll stay up all night reading. So, five pillows means that I couldn’t put it down. One pillow means I could hardly bear to pick it up.

Wow, that’s stupid.

Hope you enjoy!
