Anyway, I wish I could list all the books I've read this year but there's so many I can't remember them all (not braggin', just sayin'). So, I'll list the ones I've read since I've been on holiday with a rating: Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down or Switzerland (get it? neutral?) and a short note for the ones I didn't like.
I'll add to the list as I finish a book. Feel free to agree or call me a moron. I welcome spirited discussion. Earlier this month (4/08) I joined a book club through Meetup and I'll note which books were for the club.

Hi! I too loved Secret Life of Bees ... did you know they're making a movie of it? I blogged about it earlier this week.
ReplyDeleteAlso, my entire blog is dedicated to books, with a list of what I've read/reviewed in the sidebar. If you're looking for book suggestions please drop by, and post a comment while you're there.
I'm adding you to my google reader ... it sound like you've got a variety of things to post about and I'm excited to read them! :)
I would say we have the same taste in books. I have read about 75% of the same books as you. The other 25% I will have to look into. I agree that I don't understand why people don't like to read. I just wish I had more time. I am always surrounded by books I am intending on reading. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteYou know all about my reading addiction. I've read many of the books you have listed here, and agree with your reviews. We have almost the same taste in books!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy I came across your blog! We have the same taste from what I can see in our reading. I will be definitely reading some that I haven't read from your list.
ReplyDeleteYou are now on my Reader....yay!
