Hi - you've got an interesting list there. You should enjoy the Year of Wonders - I've now gone on and read all Geraldine Brooks' books. Dragonkeeper is good as well - in fact I think I'll put book 4 into my series category! I'm currently reading Possession by A S Byatt.

I purchased Possession a while back and I am cheating abit because I am saving it for next year so that I can add it onto my 1% reading challenge of 1001 books you can read before you die :) ... But I am looking forward to reading it ... You can catch our bookblog at Exclusivebooks.blogspot.com .....

Yup, I also recommend Year of Wonders. For some reason it had been sitting on my shelf way too long as well, and I'm really glad I finally got around to it.

Some excellent reading in your Classic section. Enjoy it! I'm thinking of a Classic Reread section next year.

Again for Year of Wonders.. I read it after I finished March which I couldn't put down, the haven't shut up about either one since. And I frequently recommend both to patrons. I think I sent a copy of Year of Wonders to someone today.

I'm another one who loved Year of Wonders. I was afraid I wouldn't because historical fiction is not generally my thing, but I absolutely loved it.

You've got some really good children's/YA books on there too. And I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with a LDS book category!

Oh, I followed your lead and signed up for the What's in a Name 2 challenge. Should be fun!

Thanks everyone ... Looking forward to getting started now ... I have enjoyed quite alot of books this year so looking forward to finding new favourites ....

You have some great books lined up. I'll be interested to read what you think of them in due course.
