  2. You should join up, participate in the little contest. Nothing wrong with some healthy competition..
    Try out the Good Reads website too. It's a fun way to find out, read reviews of what other people are reading that you know.

  3. First off, I am impressed you can remember how many books you read in the last year! I have been trying to remember and I am having a hard time. Here are the ones I do recall.
    1. Faith of Our Fathers: A House Divided - Allen, Nancy
    2. Faith of Our Fathers: To Make Men Free -Allen, Nancy
    3. Faith of Our Fathers: Through the Perilous Fight -Allen, Nancy
    4. Faith of Our Fathers: One Nation Under God -Allen, Nancy

    I enjoyed this series. It takes place during the Civil War and I have always liked that time period. I did like the Children of the Promise series better though.

    5. Twilight - I liked this book
    6. New Moon - Thought this one was kind of boring
    7. Eclipse - This one was okay
    8. Breaking Dawn - absolutely hated this book - ruined the whole series for me
    9. A Christmas Carol - Dickens, Charles - I love reading this book every Christmas
    10. I Heard that Song Before - Mary Higgins Clark - Good mystery, I usually enjoy her novels
    11.Santa Cruise - Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark - very dull, didn't even bother to finsish the last 20 pages
    12. One for the Money - Evanovich, Janet - Not sure if this counts, I only have read 1/2 of it so far.
    13. Katherine - Seton, Anya - Very good historical novel if I can ever finish the thing, about 150 pages to go!

    I am up for your challenge, if you can call it a challenge. I know I will come no where near what you have read or will read but it should be fun to see what everyone is reading.
