52. Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt
I am another one that couldn't get into Atonement or Middlesex. Such a disapointment on both fronts!
I have two 5 star reads in my 2009 booklist do far.
Gone With The Wind (an old favourite)
Beach Music (new to me - but amazingly engrossing from the first few pages)
I was disapointed in (but finished):
Wicked The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West This book definitely did not live up to the hype and I really wanted to like it but I just couldn't.
Virgin Earth A Novel I didn't like the characters, especially the main character and I was really disapointed in the ending.
Change of Heart I normally enjoy Jodi Picoult but this one really rubbed me the wrong way. For the firsat half I felt like I was reading either Stephen King's The Green Mile or John Grisham's The Chamber. To be truthful I only finished the book to find out whether or not my hunch was correct and yes it ended the way I though it would after about 100 pages in.
Thanks Molly!

Black and Blue by Anna Quindlen
I don't read at work other than on my lunch break right now. When I used to cover reception I used to read at the reception desk since it was not very busy at all. My boss didn't care.
That's great! Too bad we don't have something like that for Canada :(
I missed one!

I count any books I read other than children's picture books. I would count all of them, I have several memoirs on my list actually!

Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall
I'm currently undecided about whether I want to read Knit Two. I was slightly disapointed in the first one and I didn't really enjoy the writing style. Despite that I am still interested in it though. I guess we'll see...
