Hmm. Well, Tien and Kristina Simon, you may be able to catch up to me in coming years. All of my new LOST books are May 2011...and probably will be for a long while. Seems I must have added whole book lists at that time!

LOL. See!!
Every year I think Lost is going to get me out of 2010, the year I joined Goodreads. But, no. I'm only half-way through 2010!
Totally worth it, though. I've found some great books in my Lost lists through the years. ;-)


LOL...I think you win!"
Nope! Mine are from when I joined GR in Nov. 2007, but they were all on my shelves before that...so....

1.The Book Of Counted Sorrows
2.On the Road
3.The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
4.A Great and Terrible Beauty
5.The Fountainhead
6.An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness
7.Animal's People
8.Falling Man
9.The Reluctant Fundamentalist
10.The Kindly Ones
I am so very ashamed and embarrassed to say that these books have been languishing on my to be read list since 2009!!! I am so very sorry my darling books.
I wonder why I chose these or if my tastes have changed. I cannot wait to see!

Thanks, Bea! Yes, this year I made some time to go through my oldest shelves (and boxes...) and build a pile with books I've been wanting to read, to keep handy. :)

Lol, I haven't watched any of the movies. I remember reading the first three books (and those about Emily) when little and loving them but that's all I remember. I'm sure they would be a great choice for a buddy read. Anne's books have been on my tbr for ages but I somehow keep postponing them...
