I’ve been meaning to do this for the past month, and yet it’s already February, and I am just now getting around to it.  Here is the list of books that I read in 2008.  There were 57 in all.  This doesn’t include the numerous books I read to my kids over and over again, with the one exception being a book that was sent to me for review.  This list does include an unpublished novel manuscript and an unpublished screenplay sent to me for editing and critique.  Of these 57 books, 26 of them were sent to me for review.  You can click on those directly from the list to read my reviews.

Unfortunately, I didn’t make it all the way through my review pile for 2008, but I think I did get to the ones that I agreed in advance to review.  I also read many from the pile of unsolicited review books that were sent to me.  Several publicists sent me fantastic reads, and I’d like to thank them for that!  Reading is a passion of mine, and I love sharing my book recommendations with others.

(Note: This list does not include links to the reviews that I wrote for films, toys, or other products and services in 2008.)
