Book Awards 2007

 I know you are waiting with baited breath…more “awards”!

What with moving across country and a few 700-850 pagers, I didn’t make it to my 52 books per year goal, but shall we say that quality is more important than quantity? I read some great books in the past year, but a few stick out above and beyond. Remember, these aren’t the best books of 2007, but the best books I read in 2007.

Most favorite book read:
What is the What by Dave Eggers – read it today.

Honorable mentions (in no particular order):
David Copperfield by Charles Dickens, Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, Inheritance of Loss by Keran Desai, Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech, Sula by Toni Morrison, and Yes Man by Danny Wallace. What an odd bunch that is.

Here is to reading in 2008! 52, I’m ready!

Snowy New Year

We woke up on this new year’s morning to a light snow! It makes everything look so pretty and fresh. We are looking forward to our first full year back in Indiana, and wish everyone (no matter how near or far) all the best in 2008.

I hope to update my 2007 booklist later, though I didn’t come near my goal of 52. Also? There are quilts for spring arrivals:
