Here is my incomplete booklist for 2009. I have a short list (maybe 5 books) on my desk at home waiting to be added to this list. But I am not at home, so I am publishing this now, since it's the last day of the year. I will add the other books later. They include some children's books, like Splat Cat.
This list is in reverse chronological order, with the most recently read books at the top.

Interesting list! You've done some good reading this year!
Thanks, I thought I was a good reading year.
This is truly inspiring. Barbara Kingsolver will be presenting writers' workshops at the San Miguel Writers Conference in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico February 19-23. I just signed up. It looks like a rare opportunity to meet her. Are you going?
Oh gosh! I WISH I WERE! WOW! Sounds fantastic!
