I'm even thinking about scaling back up again later this year. I think I'm at year seven or eight by the way.

I've read a few of the books you listed in your best of list. I haven't read Beth Hoffman's book, Saving CeeCee Honeycut yet, but I own a copy! So, your recommendation and the fact that one of my adorable kitties is named CeeCee means I will be reading this book asap!<br /><br />I thought The Day the Falls Stood Still and The Illusion of Separateness were both wonderful books. Night Film is high on my list of books to read. I've never read the 5th book on your list but plan to look it up!<br /><br />Terrific post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-20941536630740302622014-01-08T12:20:22.469-08:002014-01-08T12:20:22.469-08:00Susan - Thank you.

I am a moderator on a UK book site (readitswapit - do drop in!!) which started as a book swapping site, but with the cost of postage these days......we are more discussion and suggestion founded. But I am always looking for challenges and that list is great. I have also spotted books I've never heard of, so will be looking for a few of those! I have a blog too - Mac-adventures with books - mostly book reviews.

Maybe because I made my husband get me a really nice copy for Christmas a few years back. I'll give it another go and if it doesn't work out, maybe it wasn't meant to be.

I still get much enjoyment from blogging. It's differently different than it once was, but like life, my blog has had to change with me. <br /><br />We Need to Talk About Kevin was such a thought provoking book. It's not an easy one to read, but I do recommend it when you are ready for it. Night Film was creepy and suspenseful and dark and fun.
