2007-2008 Reading List

I am concluding my 2007-2008 school year blogging experience with the list of titles I read this year. I know this list isn’t quite complete, but it shows most of what I read. I aimed for 2 titles a week. I have listed 88 titles here. I know I haven’t included some I read at the cottage (Great and Terrible Beauty; I am Messenger; The Ear, Eye, Hands) plus some picture books, but other than that, this list pretty accurately reflects what I read this year. Not quite two books a week but I feel I accomplished much. I am much more familiar with YA literature now than last fall.
