Oh well...).<br /><br />Stef, don't forget, though, I was laid off for half the year. Maybe in my retirement, I'll manage to get up to 100 (I have that to look forward to).Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-13383535349846880382010-01-11T10:35:38.810-05:002010-01-11T10:35:38.810-05:00Welcome back, happy New Year, loved your list!

C...Heather, thanks and Happy New Year to you, too!<br /><br />Court, I have the other one, too, and plan to read it this year. I just have to make sure I map out a couple of days on my calendar in which I have NOTHING else to do :-)!<br /><br />Christina, oh, lucky you to have it to experience for the first time! My favorites were the reviews, but I loved all of it.<br /><br />Raych, thanks for editing. I have no idea how I made that mistake (since Richard Yates was my grand discovery of 2009), but a friend of mine pointed it out to me via an email message before I saw your comment, and I immediately corrected it.<br /><br />Susan, the name of the game is getting around the whole "favorite" issue by having lots of categories and trying to avoid overlap. And definitely, I am on the bandwagon to up the number this year!<br /><br />Dorr, yes, you have much to be proud of, especially since half of my least favorites this year were other choices for the mystery book club (including one of my own).Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-59698040038427954342010-01-10T16:44:24.457-05:002010-01-10T16:44:24.457-05:00I'm so glad The Moonstone was your favorite of...I'm so glad The Moonstone was your favorite of the year! I can be proud that I had a little something to do with that :) It made my best-of list as well.Rebecca H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825532162727473112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-43612850042726448712010-01-10T15:05:31.214-05:002010-01-10T15:05:31.214-05:00Lovely, just lovely, Emily!!! I laughed at how yo...Lovely, just lovely, Emily!!! I laughed at how you squeezed in all your favourites you had mentioned over the year, by creatively using different categories!!! Very interesting that In The Woods was your favourite fiction book of the year. I enjoyed it also, very much, it really is lingering with me, and I'm looking forward to the kind-of-but-not-a-sequel to it. Which poetry colletions did you read? You're the only other one so far who made a category for it - I read New and Selected Poems by Mary Oliver Vol 2 and was swept away completely by it. Working on vol 1 now. <br /><br />We read the same number of books this year!!!! Mine was up too. SO let's up it goes up more next year, that's my goal too!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-37140422943053605502010-01-09T12:15:09.441-05:002010-01-09T12:15:09.441-05:00*pssst* I think you meant Revolutionary Road by Ri...*pssst* I think you meant <i>Revolutionary Road</i> by Richard <i>Yates</i>.
