I'm having a hard time doing this list online- I think that I need to get to the library and just stand in the rows and select books that way!

yay on to book #2...can't decide...Margaret Atwood or Tori Spelling! lol

I need ideas for a T author, also X, and y. Any suggestions?

For X, I read Xinran's Sky Burial. I thought it was good and thought provoking. I don't know if I would have done what she did. I also was interested in whether the story was true and if it is not true, does it change the value of the book.

I used Nancy E. Turner for my T author. I absolutely loved her book "These is My Words: The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine, 1881-1901"

I found Mako Yoshikawa for my Y

Unfortunately I keep reading the same letters over and over...I think I've read 3 "S" and 5 for "H"...

I'm still working on this list even though it's now 2010! I discovered a lot of new authors while picking letters, but bad thing was that I kept reading books by those same people and not moving on to new letters for my list!
