I am going to try to be right there with you Yas with at least 10 books a month. Doing review books, especially when some of them are not great books does slow my reading down, but I am trying to work around this. Lashonda Silver´s last blog post..Out with the old;In with the new

Thanks Dera. Hmmm now I need to find my copy (if I can’t I need to check and see if the library has it…I’m on a diet against buying new books that are not 2009 releases…I’m on a budget this year…lol.)

Several of us are reading The Red Tent. I was looking to see where I am in another week or so and see what the others are doing. We will get it coordinated so that we are reading together as much as possible. Dera´s last blog post..First Quarter 2009 Reading Challenge

Hey Yas great list of books. I'm not sure what I will be reading for January. But right now I'm reading Eat, Drink, and Be From Mississippi by Nanci Kincaid and Where the Line Bleeds by Jesmyn Ward. I do plan on reading The Some Day List. I have a list of books to go purchase. Jennifer C.´s last blog post..Our Choices

Hey Dera I’m going to push this one back:
Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz
Now when will you be reading the Red Tent.

The SomeDay List…I was looking for a feel good read and this book was it for me…my rating is based a lot on ‘how the book made me feel’ given what I was dealing with in December…now that said it’s still a good book and was a great read FOR ME…for others I say adjust your expectations esp. if you’re not a CFiction fan (per se).
