The books I chose were:
Half a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Adichie
Needle in the Blood by Sarah Bowers
The Testament of Gideon Mack by James Robertson
Winter in Madrid by C J Sansom
The Other Side of You by Salley Vickers
On the first count I didn’™t do too well because I only read two of these books, namely The Testament of Gideon Mack by James Robertson, which I wrote about on 13 December 2007 and Winter in Madrid by C J Sansom, which I wrote about on 30 January 2008.
Although I started off quite well it wasn’™t long before I began to buy more books so I failed dismally on the second count. Still, I’™m pleased that I did read at least two books from my To Be Read List, so I’™m counting it as a mini success and I will read the other books this year.
I finished 6. I think I did well. Yet to do a wrap up post though!BTW, I have tagged you for a meme!! You will like it!

You did very well. I’m thinking about my answers, but that’ll be the day, when I write a book!

That counts as a success, I think! I looked back at a list of twelve or so that I’d made around May – read about four…Love the new picture at the top, by the way – that’s not another view from your house, is it?

Thanks, Simon. It’s not the view from our house but it’s just a short walk away across the fields.

I’m always happy when I even finish a couple of books on these challenges. I’m really only doing two now–one of short stories, and the What’s in a Name–and I’ve even read one of the books in my list! 🙂
