2008 Want To Read List

A new year! And so many books to add to my list that I'm interested in. I'm setting my goal at 30 - 35 books for the year. And this time, I'm going to keep the list in alphabetical order according to title just to see if it makes it any easier to peruse. Now of course, as always, there will be books that I pick up as I go that are not on this list, because really, who can resist titles that draw your attention when at a bookstore or library. As usual, there is just too many books and so little time!

Wow... that's a great list! After you read a Child Called It, you should read the two books that follow it. The first is the best, for lack of a better word, but it's good to read the ending of his story.

"A Child Called It" was good, "Einstein" was okay (I browsed through it at Barnes & Noble once). I want to read "Once in a Promised Land".

Well, I'm going to be the bearer of bad news. I've read Oxygen and I thought it was dry as toast. I hope you're able to plow through it.

I read the Birth Order Book. I rely on that information almost daily! It really helps when dealing with human beings!

Do you REALLY plan on reading all of those books by the end of the year? Wow!

Blessings,

Janet
