***One of my favorite books of the year.
I will be compiling a list of my favorite books of 2009, so be looking for that in the near future.
Thanks for the top book lists, Bobbi. I'll look forward to seeing your personal top 10. Your blog entries are always fun to read. And I understand about the anonymous spammer comments. They're a pain.
ReplyDeleteOops I haven't read a single book on any of those lists although I've been meaning to read Suzanne Collins.
