Book Total for 2008... 27

Total Austen: five of her six novels (I read Emma in 2007)
Total Fforde: six of his seven (I read The Big Over Easy in 2007)
Total memoirs: six.
Total series completed: two (Thursday Next, Twilight)
Total semi-embarrassing YA: five
Total books referencing 9/11 as semi-significant plot points: two
Total rereads: only one, Persuasion, which was a favorite of 2008 and the last book I read for the year, finished on the 31st.
Most surprising book discovery: that I did not complete a single Bryson this year... I finished one at the end of 2007 and read, but did not complete The Mother Tongue.

one long three-month wrap up

Oy. Terrible with the updating, I am.

Reading:
Persuasion - Jane Austen (reread #1... possibly the only reread I've done this year)
The Mother Tongue - Bill Bryson (I may not be able to get through this one and I feel like I'm betraying a favorite author)

Completed:
The Fourth Bear - Jasper Fforde
Paper Towns - John Green
Harry, A History - Melissa Anelli
Shakespeare Wrote for Money - Nick Hornby
perhaps more?

Bought:
