Happy New Year, everyone!  It’s been a really good one for me so far, so I’m hoping for even better things in 2008. 

Speaking of better things, here is my list of books that I read in 2007.  It is by far better than the woeful list that I published last year of the books I read in 2006.  I’m pretty satisfied with this one.  Lots of good books, too, with a little bit of trash thrown in to keep things balanced. 

(And I already finished one in 2008, so that’s fun!)

1.  Shopgirl by Steve Martin

2.  The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie

3.  The Circus in Winter by Cathy Day

This is a good list for me.  The most I’ve read in a year since I started keeping track in 2004.  So I’m pleased - and looking forward to my next year of books.  There are hundreds of good ones waiting for me in my library.  And, coincidentally, it’s time to pick out a new one.  Yay!
