Year of Pop Culture - January

January totals: I read 23 books (but bought 27--ouch), watched 12 movies (bought two) and 41 TV episodes (I'm determined to watch the new episodes of Big Love, Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters tonight, so I'm counting them for January). And on the plus side, I didn't get any TV seasons on DVD. (I spent that money on books.)


Best books read: The Lost Hours, Jacob Have I Loved, The Bread of Angels, The Things That Keep Us Here, The Postmistress, Not My Daughter, It All Changed in an Instant, The Lock Artist, Arcadia Falls, The Brightest Star in the Sky, This World We Live In, The Happiness Project, By The Time You Read This, I'll Be Dead

Best movies watched (not counting rewatches): A Perfect Getaway, Up in the Air, Jennifer's Body, Whip It.

TV Shows I'm liking the most: 30 Rock, Big Love, Life Unexpected, The Big Bang Theory, 24, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice
