I'm setting my heights high, but it would be nice if I could finish all of these books in 2007. Of course, those lists don't include any of the books I've added to my TBR list in the last 6 months, or any that I might come across during the year.
Ooooh...I own quite a few of the writing books you've listed. On your top list, I own the top 3 and have read them (well, I'm in the middle of The Memory Keeper's Daughter right now).
ReplyDeleteI understand about having to make limits on books. I'm bad about buying books. Lot's and lot's of books.
Great list! I have read a couple of your listed books(Me and Emma, The Mermaid Chair) and really liked them. I Know This Much Is Ture is one of my Chunkster Challenge books this next year--I'm looking forward to reading it. And I hope to get to The Memory Keeper's Daughter this next year as well. Good luck with the challenge!
