Perhaps I should mend that soon, eh?

I agree about Breathing Out the Ghost and Catching Fire. I will be reading Shanghai Girls soon and can’t wait!

I’ve only read two of these books. Catching Fire and Breathing Out the Ghost were both fantastic. I think that Shanghai Girls will be great, but I have it on the shelf to read for next month.
Happy new year!
Serena (Savvy Verse & Wit)´s last blog ..Words That Burn Within Me by Hilda Stern Cohen
I only read Follow Me by Joanna Scott, and I did enjoy it as well. Reminds me I have some others of hers I need to read someday.
I wanted to win April & Oliver in the several giveaways, but no luck there unfortunately.
Thanks for sharing your list with us!

The Help was amazing, wasn’t it? We also just finished Catching Fire on audio and LOVED it. That is a great list!
Such a great list! I haven’t read any of those books, but several are in my TBR collection.

Thank you so much for including my book, FIRE ME! I’m over the moon to be on your list — and greatly humbled. Like others here, so many books are on this list that I’m dying to read.

I just reserved all of these I have not read at the library. I really enjoyed Shanghi Girls, probably got the idea from your blog. Its great to see what other people read and love.

I have read one of these! I have a few others on my TBR pile, though, so I look forward to them.

Great list! I’ve read 4 of them and have 4 more of them in my TBR pile.

Ooh, nice list. I read 4 (The Help, Shanhai Girls, This is Where I Leave You, and April & Oliver). Loved them. I have Misery Loves Cabernet on the shelf and hope to read it this year.
You survived such a busy year. I wish you calmer days in 2010 – which, given the age of your girls, could be a challenge. But a good challenge

I came over from the fiction that sells loop via Libby Malin’s post that she’d made your top ten. As well as terrific content, I want to congratulate you on a visually well-designed blog and original graphics. Very fun and sophisticated. I’ll be back. Jodi
