  1. You did a great job, Ti, and it sounds like you read or listened to some fantastic books as well. I see that you have The Buddha in the Attic on loan from the library, and I am excited because that is one that I loved. I can’t wait to hear what you think about it!

    1. Oh Heather, I could not stand Buddha! So much so that it was a DNF. I know so many liked it but I just could not read it and it was so short!

  2. Fascinating…really! I have read 7 of the books that you read. Were you aware of the fact that our bookish tastes are so different?

  3. It looks like an amazing year for you Ti. I read 9 of the books on your list, which is not bad and goes to show we may have similar taste. 😉

  4. I’ve read 13 of these, though not all this year, and a lot of the others are on my TBR list. Haven’t written a review for any of them, so this list is an impressive amount of reviewing!
