Let's try this again...
 
INSTRUCTIONS... this thread is a bit different from all the other threads, in that we want no comments or opinions posted here, use the old thread for that...
 
each person gets ONE post here, which they can update as often as they like with a listing of the books that they've read so far in 2007... nice and simple, no critiques of the books or opinions, etc. just a list of the books so that others can see them as they are read... if you have a question about someone elses list, use the old thread to ask the questions please...
 
I will start the thread out by posting what I've read so far, and then I hope everyone will follow the example...
 
And I will say that this isn't a race but I'm sure someone will see this as a challenge and try to read the most books... het, whatever gets you to read, right?

the court of the air by stephen hunt (?)
i returned this book after reading the
first three chapters or so. nothing hooked
me, not the characters presented, not the
world presented, not the writing. ouch.

labyrinth by kate mosse (not bad. just okay.)

tiger eyes by marjorie liu (enjoyed it. great
novel debut.)

the boleyn legacy by phillipa gregory (despite the

october

iris murdoch as i knew her
by a.n. wilson

dead witch walking
by kim harrison (couldn't finish)

the dogs of babel
by carolyn parkhurst (ambivalent about
recommending. strong narration and prose,

drew me more than the first--when
our heroine was alive.)

other fantasy i've read. really
enjoyed it.)
