I've been trying to tell people how amazing the story was but all they hear is the author's name and think it's another "Twilight." While I enjoyed the Twilight series, "The Host" was such a different story that just drew me so completely into the situation that I was considering all the possibilities that could come if she turned it into a series and how Wanderer, Burns and those like them could lead the humans to take back the planet.

Oh, just finished reading Sue Grafton's latest, T is for Trespass, this morning. Very good. A change in style -- this time, we're told in advance who the antagonist is -- and we wait for Kinsey to figure it out. I would say the first Codex Alera was a hard start for me, at least the first 100 pages. But after that, I was hooked. I love the Narnia books. Have you read Lloyd Alexander's Tales of Prydain? The Black Cauldron, etc? Love those as well. Morjana Meg Gardiner I would say is close to Sue Grafton (Kinsey Millhone mysteries) in style.

I don't think I am going to be doing one this year because for the first year ever, I didn't really keep track of what I read! 2008 was a disorganized year... Great list!

I hadn't caught up before starting to receive review copies, so I had to devote time to just that. I haven't read his other series, but I'm hoping to catch up on that soon too. I think I only have one of the Bones books, but haven't read it yet. I haven't read any Meg Gardiner. What do they compare to? I wish I had time to re-read some of my favorites! I do re-read the Narnia books as the movies come out, but that's about the extent! Morjana – Reading all of the Dresden Files is quite a feat in itself!
