Here are the adult books I read this year. I've written reviews for most of them now, which can be found in the 2004 Adult Book Reviews category, if you're interested. Red ones are the faves, again. (I just noticed that I started and ended the year with books by Anna Maxted, how odd. )

I was originally inspired by the 50 Books Challenge (at http://www.realityfuel.org/boards/index.php?showtopic=30), but it turns out that between the adult, YA, and children's books, I've read 105 books this year. Holy dinah! (The question is, how many of them do I remember? :) )
(Sorry, looks like I originally had this posted on November 28th, for some weird reason.)
