It made me laugh. I showed it to my friends and they all laughed too. It's been popular with everyone I've shown it to. Happy New Years!

Happy New Year! I've been sharing your book around with my book club friends and it's been well received.

I haven't added up my review books for the year. If I had read every one I received it would be huge I'm sure.

I've read two of that list. Outside the Lavender Closet and Kosher By Design Lightens Up. I liked both of them, not sure if they'd be on top 10 or not. Perhaps I'll consider doing a top 10 review books, although my top 10 reads of 2009 will probably be all review books anyways.

I keep a copy of my reviews on GoodReads by year. I sorted my 2009 reviews by rating and these were the ten ARCs that had the highest rating.
