Last year BerryBird ended her year with a list of books she'd read in 2006. I tried to follow her lead, but I had not kept an accurate list. This year I kept a spread sheet mainly for this purpose, but then I started school and recreational reading became a thing of the past. Here is my somewhat limited list peppered by quite a few rereads (rr), something I tend to do when I feel the need for the comfort of an old friend.
Baby Catcher by Peggy Vincent
My Latest Grievance by Elinor Lipman
My Life in France by Julia Child
Dragon's Fire by Anne & Todd McCaffrey
The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman
Angels by Marian Keyes
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (rr)

NASCAR News!
Haha! I snuck a 2007 list up on you, too, but I didn't mark off my re-reads. Hmmm. Maybe next year.
Always in school, I don't read as much for fun as I'd like but this year I read Prodigal Summer and The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, A Walk in the Woods by Bill Byson, Out of the Noosphere (essays from Outside magazine), and started (without finishing) a few others. Would you recommend any of the ones you read?
I didn't keep a list, and since my old memory's not that great, dunno if I can reconstruct it. I kn ow I read Cider House Rules, because that really stuck with me. I suppose I could go back through no polar and look for my reviews. Read the new Harry Potter. Hah, I previously read many of the books mentioned by Dancing fish and loved them. We're currently reading DOlphins of Pern, but didn't finish it in 07. Guess it will become an '08 book.
Not much, sadly, unless you count all the law books, which I don't. The only thing that stands out is Women of the Silk.
I think after your and BerryBird's lists, I'll have to make one for 2008. Good idea!
