Since Reese posted her list, and I have finished my current book, I thought I should post my official 2008 list. I didn't get as many as Reese, and I didn't even have a goal. I'm just excited that I read 29 books. I completely quit reading when the fire happened or I would have read more. I'm not sure how many books I'll read for 09 but hopefully more than 29!

I'm not quite sure how I will pick my favorite...that should be fun!
There are only 3 books that are the same on both of our lists, and one I read long ago. Otherwise I haven't read any of yours. We should do a post on how we choose what books to read. Yet another insight into a person's mind! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm mulling over a "Best Book of 2008" from my list.
You know, I ordered a bunch of books off half.com before I left and thought I'd come back to a whole new batch of good books, but NONE of them came while I was gone!!! Media Mail to an APO is insanely slow.
Good list. Good job. And on we go...
