I was excited to see it since I knew you were going to have fun categories, too :-) I think we read some of the same books, but have slightly different takes on them- I think I was one of the few people who was not that impressed by Snow Flower, and I didn't much care for The Historian, either. But I really liked The Thirteenth Tale! And I like the way you put a list of the genres of books you read in 2006. Maybe if I make a 2007 tag, I can do that through LibraryThing this year!Aartihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-40202947395039334912007-01-05T23:11:00.000-08:002007-01-05T23:11:00.000-08:00Danielle - Happy New Year to you too. Yes, the wrap up posts are so much fun. I enjoy reading the also. I hope to try something else by Lisa See one of these days. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan was a such a good book.<br /><br />Janet - Thanks, Janet! The kitties are adorable aren't they?

Your top 10 is impressive. I loved several of your choices. I enjoyed Lincoln Lawyer, In cold Blood, Snowflower and the secret fan and the Agatha Christie. We have similar tastes. Oh I liked Thirteenth Tale too.<br /><br />I love your blog!

I will definitely take a look. I recently purchased two of Paulo Coelho's novels, The Zahir and Veronika Decides to Die. I am looking forward to reading them.<br /><br />Sara - I wish I could take credit for the graph, but it was all my husband's doing.

I just love those kittens. <br /><br />In Cold Blood was a wonderful book, wasn't it? I read it because I knew the movie was coming out and I'd heard such great things about the book. <br /><br />Stefanie - I hope you will give The Alchemist a try. It wasn't at all what I expected, but then, I'm not sure what I expected. I recently picked up a couple of his other books I'd like to read.<br /><br />Kookiejar - Jim Butcher is one of my favorite urban fantasy writers (for those who don't know: wizard who is a P.I. sort in modern day Chicago). The Dresden Files is being made into a TV series closer to the end of this month. Or maybe it's a mini-series. I'm not sure which. I'm curious to see how it will turn out.<br /><br />Good luck with the challenges, by the way! I see we both plan to read I Know This Much Is True for the Chunkster Challenge. :-)<br /><br />Lynne - So nice to "see" you! The book I couldn't finish was Haweswater by Sarah Hall. I may try it again sometime. Perhaps it wasn't the right time to try and read the novel.Literary Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-31405202879926719142007-01-01T09:36:00.000-08:002007-01-01T09:36:00.000-08:00Love all your comments and stats!<br /><br />I have THE HISTORIAN sitting here unread - I'll have to work on that one.<br /><br />Which book couldn't you finish?Lynnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09757607212001873984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-68939266929937932732007-01-01T08:57:00.000-08:002007-01-01T08:57:00.000-08:00Excellent list, kitty.

You all are too kind! I hope you all have a wonderful New Year also.<br /><br />Joy - I guess it was kind of obvious, wasn't it? What my favorites would be? And I keep talking about them wherever I go.<br /><br />Heather - Thanks for stopping in. I've never made a list like that before and thought it would be fun. Another friend of mine did something similar and so I just followed her lead.<br /><br />Kim - I just got back from visiting your blog (great site, by the way!). Any fan of Lost and Grey's Anatomy is a friend of mine. :-) I don't mind at all if you want to use the same or a similar format for your reviews. I actually got the idea from someone else this past summer. <br /><br />JCR - Thank you for the compliment. I'm glad you visited my blog!<br /><br />Lazy Cow - There were couple of categories I noticed others keeping track of that I'd like to add to my list for next year. I can just see it now, a mile long blog post! Haha<br /><br />I do hope you enjoy The Historian. I know that it's gotten a lot of mixed reviews, but I'm one of the people who loved it and will definitely be re-reading it.

I must say..."I'm impressed!" Your stats are amazing and fun to read. Being that I read your other post, I was able to surmise your favorites. :)<br /><br />I understand your choice in SNOWFLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN, which I rated a 4/5. I really enjoyed it; however, years ago my favorite was MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA and I somehow always compare similar genres to that.<br /><br />Love the picture of the kitties in the box.<br /><br />Happy New Year to you, too. I hope it is book-filled!Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02832153483347261037noreply@blogger.com
