Only Howl's Moving Castle and its sequel. I found the HMC book so different from the movie (which I adore) that I found it difficult to appreciate it for its own merit. I'd very much like to go back to it, however, because I remember it having some pretty awesome parts and I think I'd do a better job of appreciating it.
I don't think that the goal made the year slow. To be quite honest, I'm surprised that I have fared as well as I have, considering this was my first year with a Kindle. So a (small) part of it was probably the electronic books. Another part was that I've been reading some pretty big books--The Count of Monte Cristo, The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection. There was also poetry this year and I find I can't read more than one poem a night if I want to properly appreciate them. And then there was my total lack of will power :D
I should also add that if there are any free ebooks around that you'd recommend, let me know and I shall add them to the pile.
