And I wish you a happy new year with lots of other great books :)<br /><br />I think all 'normal' readers make a list of the books they've read during the year and not necessary published that year? LOL I think I've read only one book that originated from 2009.<br /><br />I still have to decide on a definite list (no time today, I hope to get to it in the weekend). I liked To Kill a Mockingbird but it won't make my top list.

If you haven't read the sequel, The Angel's Game, I highly recommend it. It's much darker than Shadow, but in my opinion, more impressive. My favorite book this year was Great Expectations. It was my first Dickens, but it made me an instant fan! I hope you have a very Happy New Year!!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-53705424553682361082009-12-31T17:12:56.535-05:002009-12-31T17:12:56.535-05:00Many great books on your fav list.
