Now that 2008 is over and we're three days into 2009 it is time to give an overview of my reading last year, before I post the first of my reviews for 2009. So, this is was 2008 looked like for me:
BOOKS READ: 186
BOOKS NOT FINISHED: 3
BOOKS WITH A SCORE OF 5 OR HIGHER: 38
OWNED BOOKS: 62
DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE YEAR: CROSS COUNTRY by James Patterson
TOP 10 FOR 2008 (in no particular order):
* THE CHEMISTRY OF DEATH by Simon Becket
* THE ALIENIST by Caleb Carr
* THE KITE RUNNER by Khaled Hosseini
* NIGHT TRAIN TO LISBON by Paul Mercier

* THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN by Kate Morton
* THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY by Mary Ann Shaffer
* THE SECRET SCRIPTURE by Sebastian Berry

And because it was so very hard to limit myself to these 10 books, I'll also list the following nine books, which nearly made the top 10:
* THE FIERY CROSS by Diana Gabaldon
* THE SAVAGE GARDEN by Mark Mills
