I hope to keep up with it better in 2009 than 2008. Around the time Ella was born I read about a dozen books on babies and parenting that I never put on my list and they were all library books so I can't just go to the shelf and look it up. After that I pretty much abandoned my list. 2009 I intend to be more vigilant and write this stuff down.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

My 2008 list was not very accurate, since I tried to list all the books for the last year at once. I can only remember about 6 or 7 books back with any accuracy. So I am looking forward to keeping up with a list as I go. Ive never done that.

I hope my 2009 book list looks better than 2008,,,,

So I hope for mine. I mean, I hope my new one won't include 108 items as the old one did, which means I will have at least something like the so-called real life.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

That is an amazing number Jean. I don't know how you find the time. You must read like 10,000 words a minute, or read 25 hours a day

[Jean]

It's because bears live on books only... sometimes they wish they could do something else.

[Daghain]

Just finished my last book for 2008, and here's my first for 2009:

The Double Bind - Chris Bohjalian

Alright, here comes the first for 2009, because I am done reading for the evening and thus it will carry over into tomorrow (next year). Starting the year with a re-read inspired by my conversation yesterday with Brice and turtlex...

I'm starting the year off with...


The Graveyard Book - Neil Gaiman

I did, and I think they're perfect for it. It could be very interesting.

Woah, you went all out with the colors there Pam
