100 Things Post-Mortem

[lunabee34]

Approximately one million years ago, I started posting for the 100 Things Challenge, and I elected to post about 100 books that have been important to me in some way. I made it through ten books LOL (LISTEN TO THE WARM by Rod McKuen, D'AULAIRES' BOOK OF GREEK MYTHS by Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire, WUTHERING HEIGHTS by Emily Bronte, WRITING WITHOUT TEACHERS by Peter Elbow, THE BODYGUARD'S ASSIGNMENT by Amanda Stevens, CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR by Jean M. Auel, VICTORIAN PEOPLE AND IDEAS by Richard D. Altick, THE HAPPINESS PROJECT by Gretchen Rubin, THE PARASOL PROTECTORATE SERIES by Gail Carriger, and AMONG FRIENDS by Caroline B. Cooney).

Since it's clear that I am not going to make 90 more detailed posts for this challenge *g*, I thought I''d just list the books that I would have discussed if I'd had the fortitude. I'd be more than happy to wax on in comments if anyone's interested why any of these remaining 90 books mean something to me or wants to share some book love of his or her own. :) Please take my mind off the waiting for the kiddo to be born game. Please. LOL
