A-Z Reading Challenge 2008 Finished

YAY! I finished the A-Z reading Challenge. :)

I really enjoyed the majority of the books I read. A few I would not recommend include: Barefoot Believers by Annie Jones, Girl in Hyacinth blue by Susan Vreeland, and Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. Otherwise I recommend any of the other books I read. I ended up liking or appreciating Sky Burial by Xinran and Sweethearts by Sarah Zarr which are two secular books I read just for this challenge and I was very wary. :)
