December was my worst reading month of 2009, due to too much holiday fun. :) On the plus side though, I was able to post full reviews for every book read – each title above is linked to its review.
I’ve heard really good things about Olive Kitteridge, but I haven’t read it yet.
I read the first two chapters several months ago, and really liked them. But it was a library copy and I had to take it back before I could read the rest. Looking forward to starting it again soon!
Fantastic Mr. Fox by EDITH Roald Dahl?
Haha oh dear! Copy and pasting went wrong!
Thanks for letting me know, I’ve fixed it now. :)
Interesting lists! I haven’t read any books by Barbara Kingsolver before. One of my friends tells me that her books are filled with beautiful descriptions of nature. Which of her books would you recommend to be read first?
Reading “Shades of Grey” right now. What goes on inside Fforde’s mind…
I also picked up “I Am the Messenger.” “The Book Thief” was so good, I look forward to reading other things by Zusak.
