2009 Reading List

Yesterday I finished my first book of 2009. Last year I kept track of all the books I read, which turned out to be pretty useful, because otherwise I tend to forget what the heck I've read lately, and then people ask me for recommendations, and unless I own it, I can't recommend it. So here's the list again. (I link this from the side of my blog and update it throughout the year, so as not to spam my friends list every time I finish a book.)

Books Read in 2009:

The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Alcatraz vs the Shattered Lens by Brandon Sanderson
Child of God by Cormac McCarthy
No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy
Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
Touch Magic by Jane Yolen
An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sachs
Fablehaven by Brandon Mull
Midwives by Chris Bohjalian
The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan
Only Forward by Michael Marshall Smith
Couplehood by Paul Reiser (aloud with Drew)
The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller
Paper Towns by John Green
Crown of Horns by Jeff Smith
Scattered Apples by Kristy Kugler
Women and Money by Suze Orman

I know the feeling. This is why I'm making a middle-grade fantasy list, because I know that my personal collection isn't all the books I've read, and because I want suggestions for ones I've missed. If you happen to have time, you're welcome to glance over the list and mention any titles I've missed.

Recommendation for you:

Persistence of Memory by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. I read it last month and the first thing I though was "Janci would probably like this."

It did just come out last month, so the library probably won't have it yet. But it's good. Add it to your eventual reading list.
