Good going! I always think about books I'd like to read, but don't keep track of what I've already gone through.

Was "Twelve" by Jasper Kent any good? IIRC, you liked "Santa Olivia".

A couple years ago I decided to make a list so I could keep track. Yeah, I'm rather anal that way. ;)

I liked Santa Olivia quite a bit, yes. I didn't like Twelve very much though, even though a bunch of bloggers were raving about it. I had trouble believing any of the main character's motivations and actions. Also, while Kent did a good job researching the political and military history for the book, I felt failed to accurately create the setting. It didn't feel like I was actually in 19th Century Russia.

My feelings about Twelve exactly.

That's good to know about Twelve. The concept sounded neat; maybe I'll track it down at the library sometime, then I don't feel obliged to finish it.

Good list!

Thanks! 2010 doesn't isn't looking too spectacular just yet unless we get ADWD or your second book. :)

Oh, there'll be great stuff. We just don't know what it is yet and I can't wait :-)

But thanks ;)

Good list! As you know, some of them I've read, others I hope to read at some point.

I would list my 2009 reads but I just don't have it in me to write down 181 books. (Yes, I'm showing off. :P)

[beniowa79]

You have the capacity to be just as anal as I am, I know it. And yes, you are showing off, naughty girl. :P

[mashiara13]

Oh, I DO have a list, it's just that it's handwritten and it would be such a pain to actually have to type them all out.

[beniowa79]

Wow, you went old school. Quite understandable then.

Lovely list.

Thanks! I'm hoping for a great list in 2010 as well.
