52 books this year, one per week, and eleven more than last year. The difference probably came through having two weeks of Lanzarote holiday reading in March and September, whereas in 2009 our September break was more active, sightseeing in New York.

Top five books from this year's reading?

1. The Trellis and the Vine
2. The Courage to be Protestant
3. Dissolution
4. Bible Delight
5. Scandalous

Previous reading lists can be found for 2009, 2008, and 2007.
