I didn't read any of these or any other Christian fiction in 2011. I have no idea why not. I just didn't. So, not so good here.
Original List:
Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks: An Epic Quest for Reality Among Role Players, Online Gamers and Other Dwellers of Imaginary Realms by Ethan Gilsdorf

The ABC's for UU Newcomers: A Brief Introduction to Unitarian Universalism by William Cleary
Maphead: Charting the Wide, Weird World of Geography Wonks by Ken Jennings
I still want to read the books on the original list, but I really, really loved the books I read by Kate Braestrup and Ken Jennings.
Original List:
Whose Body? by Dorothy Sayers
A Red Herring Without Mustard by Alan Bradley
Smokin' Seventeen by Janet Evanovich
Heads You Lose by Lisa Lutz and David Hayward
What I actually read:
Heads You Lose by Lisa Lutz and David Hayward
I only read one of them, and no other mysteries. I didn't even particularly like the one I read. I love Lisa Lutz' Spellman series and I do hope David Hayward tries writing on his own sometime, but Heads You Lose didn't work for me.
It's pretty strange I ended up not reading the Alan Bradley and Janet Evanovich books, given I've read the books in their series that precede the ones on the list. I'm behind by two books in both series now.

Original List:
Ring World by Larry Niven
Faking It by Jennifer Crusie
Pay it Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde
Evening Class by Maeve Binchy
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
I didn't re-read anything this year, unless it was by listening to an audiobook, but I know I didn't do that much.
