I managed to read 32 books this year. I started a few in December but with work craziness they are still not done. In no particular order my 2008, top 8 are:
Rosewater and Soda Bread
Harriet the Spy
Townhouse, a novel
Stealing Buddha's Dinner
Good Grief
Good in Bed & Certain Girls A Slight Cheat but it is a sequel.
Water For Elephants
Empty Picture Frame
Three of these books were for the BBBT. I might of gotten around to two of them if I hadn't participated but I doubt I would have sought out The Empty Picture Frame
I am glad that I kept track of my books in Good Reads this year, otherwise, at this point I would have relatively no clue what I read in the first half of the year since my computer crashed. There is a widget on the side so you can see what I have just finished... it hasn't changed recently but hopefully that will change in the New Year!
What were your favorites of 2008?

Think that's it. We're starting the Poisonwood Bible in book club. I've heard that you either love or hate the author so we'll see. I need to get it from the library.
Wait... you forgot the Labatomy book or is that the Red Swastika one?
Oh yeah - My Lobotomy. See, I knew I'd forget at least one. :-D
