BTT: 2007 Favorites

It’s an old question, but a good one . . . What were your favorite books this year?

List as many as you like … fiction, non-fiction, mystery, romance, science-fiction, business, travel, cookbooks … whatever the category. But, really, we’re all dying to know. What books were the highlight of your reading year in 2007?

For now, I’m just going to post a list, I think. I might write more about this in the next week – if I ever find a moment when I’m feeling less like I’ve been sat on by elephants!
