I'll have to look her up :). I'm glad you enjoyed Ms Gaskell, too! I'm really hoping to read several more of hers next year.Keshalyihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900218197083383905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-73178917447039791152009-12-29T04:41:37.932-05:002009-12-29T04:41:37.932-05:00I'm looking forward to reading your top 20.

Same thing with The Book Thief. I had Shabanu on my shelf for a really long time and finally just gave it away on Bookmooch. I didn't realize it was feminist at all. I didn't include rereads in my top books this year, but then again, I let myself have a top 20. :D<br /><br />Can't wait to see how 2010 goes!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.com
