First, I like arithmetic. So before I am kicked out of the club, here is my list of books for 2008. It was a wonderful journey. Also in no particular order. 1Sarah by Orson Scott Card 2The Holy Secret by James Ferrell 3Queen of Bable by Meg Cabot 4Push Not the River by James Conroyd Martin 5Against a Crimson Sky by James Conroyd Martin 6The Star of Kazan by Eva Ibbotson 7The Ghost Writer by John Harwood 8Brisingr by Christopher Paolini 9Left to Tell by Immaculee ilibigiza 10Coraline by Neil Gaiman 11The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins 12Undine by Penni Russon 13The Pesthouse by Jim Crace 14For One More Day by Mitch Albom 15The Wednesday Wars by Gary Schmidt 16Enchantment by Orson Scott Card 17The woman in White by Wilkie Collins 18And then there were none by Agatha Christie 19Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte 20Ransom by Julie Garwood 21Revenge of the Kudza Debutantes by Cathy Holton 22Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer 23The Book Thief by Markus Zusak 24A company of Swans by Eva Ibbotson 25The Queen's Fool by Philippa Gregory 26The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova 27A countess below Stairs by Eva Ibbotson 28The house on the Strand by Daphne Du Maurier 29The Alchmist by Paulo Coelho 30The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen 31The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger 32Beneath a Marble Sky by John Shors 33Uglies by Scott Westerfield 34Pretties by Scott Westerfield 35Book of a thousand days by Shannon Hale 36The No 1 ladies detective agency by Alexander Mccall Smith 37The fountainhead by Ayn Rand 38The Winthrop Women by Anya Seton 39Green Darkness by Anya Seton 40These is my Words by Nancy Turner 41In Lucia's eyes by Arthur Japin 42The Lost art of Secret Keeping by Eva Rice 43The Thirteenth Tale by Dianne Setterfield 44-46The Gemma Doyle Trilogy (The sweet far thing, rebel angels, a great and terrible beauty) by Libba Bray 47Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie 48The Host by Stephenie Meyer 49The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd 50The Wednesday Letters by Jason Wright 51Devil Water by Anya Seton 52The memory keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards 53The Luxe by Anna Godberson 54Katherine by Anya Seton Yes, 54 wonderful books. Although, Katherine I read for the second time, so I don't know if it really counts. My Favorites: 54, 49, 50, 31, 23, 24, 22, 11, 9, 2. Really all of them. There are few books that I don't enjoy. When I read, I try to take each book for what it is and what it was meant to be. I find myself in each book and enjoy the many different views in the world. I don't think I will read this many next year. My goal is 40. |

Crap!! I would have to add numbers 38, 39, 30, 16 , really all of them. I should have put the ones I did not care for.
You are easy to please girlie girl. Wow, what an impressive list. Anything you want to recommend we try for January?
It depends on what kind of book you want. I have read many different genres. I don't think I am easy to please, I try hard to not compare one book to another. I take each book for what it is and enjoy the experience. I would not say that just because a book is fluff it is not good. There are many great books to be read. So if I had my choice I would pick something I have never read.
