That was quite a run on James Howe this year! I remember a year like that when my daughter couldn't get enough of Bunnicula and the gang. You read lots of great books this year, John! Several are on my list for this coming year - I'm excited to see Kit's Law at #3! Happy New Year to you and your family.
I REALLY need to read The Book Thief. I can't believe I still haven't!
Lee-Anne: Yep, the whole series. The only other series I've finished over the life of this blog is the Harry Potter series. Someday maybe I'll finish an adult series!
Kailana: It's really a great book. I haven't heard much great about the movie, though.
February was also on my top ten list this year, and I think Room was on last years list. Your fiction lists looks pretty good, lots of good books on there.
I'm hoping to read Kit's Law this year, it sounds fantastic

What a great combo: so many styles to choose from. I'm in the middle of re-reading the second in L'Engle's series now (and hoping to finally finish the series, which I never have managed to do yet, only reread the first two books) and am aiming for The Book Thief this year too. Glad you were pleased at the end of the year; it's always nice to find that reading has continued even when we've been busy with other things.
BuriedInPrint: Thanks! I do try to stay well-rounded. Still I should probably get more variety of genre fiction thrown in there. Not a western to be seen.
