This is a great sounding challenge. I am looking forward to it! Happy reading. :)
What an excellent list! The ones I read were great, the sounds I didn't sound very appealing. I need to get my hands on The Mommy Myth!
Aren't these lists fun? I see some new ones and some classics. I've read quite a few of these - hope you enjoy them; thanks for participating.
Kailana - it sure is a great one!
Nymeth - Thanks, glad you like it. Will let you know about the Mommy Myth, hope to get to it soon, definitely before the baby arrives! :-)
bkclubcare - yup, the lists ARE fun!! :-)
Love your list! Just FYI, Wild Swans is nonfiction (it's a memoir). :)
Hi Eva, thanks for that, I was wondering, I'd seen it listed as both!
