btt buttonIt’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!

Here are some favorite books I read in 2007:

    I have “Eat, Pray, Love” on my TBR list… I know so many people who have read it and been impressed.

    Happy BTT!

    I’m one of the rare ones who read Eat Pray Love and wasn’t all that impressed. I loved parts of it but overall… well, let’s just say that I would NOT read it again.

    Other than that, I’m VERY impressed by your reading. I so need to read more and, as Allison says, branch out some. You inspire me. :)

    have not read “Eat, Pray, Love” yet but been meaning to get around to reading that too. Maybe when I have the time, then I will :)

    Great list and Happy BTT!

    Now there’s an interesting list! I’ve read a fair amount set in Tibet this year and about Buddhism too, you’ve given me some ideas for my TBR list!

    * Ten Little Fish
    * The Hungry Caterpillar
    * Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See?
    * Goodnight Moon

    Oh, wait. I don’t think I read any books for me this last year. So Sorry… :D
