    Man talk about chemo brain. I *know* I read some good ones...(*complete mental blank*).

    I"m gonna have to start using Library Thing.

    ETA - I *do* remember reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle - because Oprah raved about it... Really and truly don't bother.

    Ooooo i love reading books and have read a few this year! but some of my favs have been....


    We need to talk about Kevin - took a bit to get into and most books i give up on if they dont grab me straight away, but im SO glad i stuck through this one!

    To love honour and Betray - was really good and funny -

    Next year the first book i will be reading is How to kill your husband (and other handy household tips) - MrsS - its the same author as To love Honour and Betray so u might enjoy that book also!

    Oh I LOVE The Memory Keepers Daughter! I first read it a few years ago - it is BRILLIANT! Although a tear jerker... I stupidly read it when I was in hospital and away from DD... I cried so much!

    My top pick for the year would be the Millenium trilogy also. They were fantastic books! Would highly reccomend them!

    Also loved the Twilight saga (have read them all twice )

    James Patterson - Alex Cross's Trial, Swimsuit, Run For Your Life (I love James Patterson books)
