I liked The Lace reader and Never Let Me Go too. Sorry to hear about Hotel on the Corner...I won a copy and though it sounded great. I'll still read it, but perhaps with a more critical eye. I laughed about your last entry on the personal list. I've have kidney and bladder problems (and surgeries) my whole life- peeing can be a really big issue sometimes. Happy reading in 2010.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins made my best of 2009 list this year too. Also I loved Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. I agree with you about The English Patient, I didn't like it much when I read it either and much prefer the film. 72 books is a great reading effort, well done! Great list!

I am a HUGE advocate of Geek Love and think that everyone should read it, at least once. I am also really glad to have gotten to know you this year, and to have been able to find your blog, it's a really fun place to be. I am also itching to read faster, but I can't help it, I love to savor and pour over a good book like nobody's business! I wish you a great year in reading and hope that you are able to hit that 100 mark this time around.

I'm so jealous of how fast some people can read too! I wish I could, there are so many great books to read. Hey, Happy New Year! I’m so jealous of how fast some people can read too!

I have often felt like the only person on the planet who didn't like The Time Traveler's Wife. I read it right after it came out and it just didn't do it for me, but I have some friends who consider it a favorite.We also had some of the same favorites for this year (The Help, The Hunger Games) and I'm on hold for Graceling at the library.You asked on my blog about The Patron Saint of Liars - I enjoyed it, even though the ending was very different than I expected. I am still thinking about it, whether the Patron Saint of Liars was looking after Son and Cecilia and Thomas in the wake of Rose's actions, whether what happened ended up being the best for all of them.
