And which of these would you recommend?

I'm leery of recommending fiction, but the only two I didn't like were 1 and 11.

Seconding. #1 was the only book I started this year and didn't finish out of boredom.

Wait, we get to count drafts as books read? That changes everything.

Well, okay, it actually only changes the number of books I've read this year.

Man, I know about the GNs. Near October I started lumping all mine together by series in final count (ie- "Fables" counted as two spaces instead of 12) because they pushed me past 130 and I wanted a more manageable list. Apparently this year was the year of the comic.

(PS--"Fables" is so fun.)

What inspired the Bellairs? I introduced my son to them, and he loves them.

matociquala recommended them, and we have plenty of copies at work.
