2. 20th Century Classics
3. Group Reads
4. Minnesota
5. Virago Modern Classics

Category 10: LT-Inspired Reading
My wishlist grows by leaps and bounds because of all the wonderful books people write about here on LT. I'll allow myself to buy a few this year. :-)
1. Doomsday Book by Connie Willis. 4/5. Review. Finished 1/31/2010. I don't remember exactly who recommended this, but I know I would have never read it if I hadn't heard about it on LT.
2. The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton. 3/5. Review. Finished 2/8/2010. Clayton is (was?) a regular poster here on LT, and the book did quite well, so I was curious about it.
