Not very many, I know. Too, I accept that I'm shallow & lack the attention span to read classics or literary fiction. Even so, I only read 102 books in 2005 & I'm well on track to out pace myself this year. Thanks for the great idea, Tara!

Hi Amanda--I'm curious, what were the mystery and horror books? And, were they any good?
Tara- The mystery was The Subtle Serpent by Peter Tremayne. I liked it very much. Strong, no nonsense female lead, set in ancient Ireland.
Minion was one of the horrors. It is often shelved in sci fi/fantasy, although I personally feel it belongs in horror. I enjoyed it, although I did find Banks' world view an odd combo of religion, fate & violence.
Sunshine, the other horror, however, was absolutely amazing. Completely sucked me in & held me tight. I hope McKinley does another set in this world, but she's never done a series & I'm not hopeful.
