I'm actually up to 10 books. My full list is here.
Sorry, I forgot to leave my total in the November posting. As of December 1 I'm now at 9 books.
One more for me that I had hoped to get in for November, but my first for December on the 1st will have to do. Now at 15/13.
Early start this month with a short but excellent book. Now 9/13
16/13 now.
Here's a link to the Toronto Star's top 100 books of 2011:

How many have you read? I've only read one (Linwood Barclay's "The Accident").
Teena: Ouch, that made me feel out of the loop. I've not only read 0 of those listed, I've only even heard of a handful. I did note that they seem remarkably anti-literary fiction. I'm not sure if that isn't reverse snobbery...
Tide Road makes 12/13 for me. Almost finished! Of course,I will continue reading Canadian books.
Oh shoot! I messed up the link by leaving out the title and can't find a way to fix it. Sorry! Let's blame my (arguably)temporary insanity on Christmas shall we? The book was Bachelor Brother's Bed and Breakfast. This brings me to 8/13.
I'm now at 19.
Teena: I've read three (The Accident, the Alan Bradley and Alone in the Classroom) and own three others in my tbr, otherwise can't say the list excites me much. Haven't heard of most of them.
One more for the weekend. At 17/13. Now for some Christmas baking.
Oh for heaven's sake. I messed up my title. It should be *This all Happened*. Must have been thinking about my gingerbread boys.
17 now
Wow that goes by fast when they are mostly picture books!
25/13
Just finished 11/13 ... I'm getting there :)
Re the Toronto Star list, I hadn't heard of a lot of them either. I've requested some from the library to check 'em out.
I'm 10/13 now!
HRO current count = 5
books 13 and 14: Small Ceremonies and The Staircase Letters. They are reviewed on the same post, so the link thing only let me enter it once.
With The Dragon Turn, I'm at 3/13.
I'm at 18
57/13 with this weekend's reads
I've read 16 of the Toronto Star books (18 since some are on more than once) and 2 of the Crime 10.
Now up to 20.

I'm getting a lot of reading done the last couple of months. Now at 11/13

I'm very slow this month... I seriously haven't been reading much. I'm waiting for that last week of December to have a break where I can cozy up with a blanket, some tea, and all the books I have on my TBR list.
As of right now, it's 18/13.
28/13
29/13
I like the sound of Melissa's last week of December! I'm at 55 for those books that have posts to go along with them.
I just finished #13 ... whoohoo!
I'm at 4/13 now.

I entered 15 and 16 in the links.
Wooohooo! All the way up to 2/13! Watch me read.
OK - I'm up to 3 Canadian re-reads with The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje. I'm behind schedule to finish 13 by the end of June - choosing to re-read books is proving to be more difficult than I thought it would be!
6/13 for me. 3 this month.
I forgot to add the name of the book I read! Whoops. It was The Lesser Blessed by Richard Van Camp.
That brings me up to 5 books - Mount Claire yay!
As of December 31, 2011 I am now up to 6 books.
