At the end of 2008, I noticed that a log of book bloggers listed a compilation of all the book they had read for the year.
I figure the only way I can remember the books I read would be to list them now and add on as the year continues.
So, that is what I am doing here.
But first I just have to document it: my son really has checked out the book, "Catcher in the Rye".

Interesting to me that he is reading this.
okay...now for my list
okay...now for my list
The Tale of Desperaux---I wanted to read it before the movie came to our little town. The movie still hasn't come to our little town, but the book was good.
The Family Tree by Barbara Delinsky --I read this for my book club "Totally Lit--erature". It was a good book for the book club, it led to lots of discussion about race and prejudice.
Grace by Richard Paul Evans -- had to read this for the "no-name" book club. It was an easy, one day read. It was okay. I find it hard to get into sentimentality sometimes, and the book was completely trying to build on his previous "sentiment" books.
But it was a quick read, not too bad.
Out of the Deep I Cry -- the 3rd in a mystery series by Julia Spencer-Fleming. It's a Claire Ferguson mystery. I like them, so this one was just for me.
The Madonna's of Leningrad by Debra Dean-- a book club book (Totally Lit) We meet next week to discuss it. I'll let you know what everybody thinks.
I liked it.
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson-- a "no-name" book club choice. I know it won an award, but there were so many people and so many facts!! It was hard for me to keep straight, but I found it very interesting. We discuss this next week too (different day)

The Girl Who Stopped Swimming--by Joshilyn Jackson. I just read this one because I wanted to. It was good. I like her books.
I used to think I read fast and a lot. Until I came up on book bloggers. LOL I am nothing compared to you/them.

I keep track of what I read too (but I just use the Good Reads thing we signed up for a while ago). When I tried making a list on my blog I just forgot, and I never get to read anything for "fun" anymore with school and I don't count books unless I read the entire thing, and so I read a lot more than I record since for school we sometimes just read certain parts and articles from books
I love the bookmark!
The Madonnas of Leningrad I read. Our book club will be discussing it in October. Curious to know how your book club when discussing it. There is a lot of historical background to make this story interesting.
