hi Joy! I read the first few books but look forward to seeing the ending soon. My hubby is the one who got me started on them as well. The series has a little of everything, romance included so I hope you enjoy them.

57. The World's Best Fairy Tales-- a Reader's Digest collection of 69 fairy tales (some well known, some not so much) I read it over the course of nearly two months of bedtime stories.

58. The Enchanted Castle by E. Nesbit

59. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland &through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
I attempted to read Alice's Adventures... Many times as a child as it was my first chapter book.I don't think I ever finished it then because I didn't understand it was supposed to be at times silly and confusing.

60. Anne of the Island by L.M Montgomery

Well, I won't reach 75 though I still have a few more that I hope to get to before the end of the year.

That's OK, L! You've still read a LOT this year - and I hope this group is an encouragement to you, no matter the ultimate "number" at the end of the year.

Thanks Kay. I've enjoyed trying. I'm looking forward to starting again in the new year.

61. The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood
5 stars! I enjoyed this book so much, the way Zenia played off the character insecurities etc. I didn't like her character but thought she was well written.

62. The Tale of Despereaux by Kate Dicamillo

63. Olive's Ocean by Kevin Henkes (Ya lit)

My final book in 2009...

64. Life of pi by Yann Martel --- I waited a long time to finally make time for this. I really enjoyed it for the most part except for one thing. I tend to read a lot during breakfast and lunch and this book goes into a lot of graphic often gory detail of how pi ate to survive his time on the lifeboat. Often I would come to these sections while eating and have to stop reading.

LOL Joy, I hadn't thought of that good idea!

L, I loved life of pie! I didn't think it was going to be my kind of book so I was suprised that I liked it so much and I still think about it now and then. This was a great choice for a year end book.
