And all the sweet serenity of books." ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I think the only book I've gotten to read this year was Wicked by Gregory Macquire.

jengd said...

Honestly, I have a hard time with the 2010 book just because I have a munchkin who doesn't let me read much. A friend gave me "3 Bags Full" for my bday this year and I love it but I just checked and it's a 2005 book. Push come to shove, I'd say I'd likely enjoy Robin Hobb's "Dragon Haven" because I've enjoyed her other series, Farseer and Liveship Traders. I haven't read the first Rainwilds book but I really want to. jengd jgerwigdively (at) hotmail {dot} com
