Last year was the first full year that I at least minorly logged all of my reading, and it's kinda fun to look back over the list.  :)  Just some notes to round out the year-in-reading for 2007.

TBR Challenge
Well, I didn't quite meet my goals.  By early August, I only had two books left on the list, so I took a bit of a break from focusing on the TBR books.  And somewhere in the next month, I completely forgot about it!  Through sheer coincidence, I finished one of the two before the end of the year, so all I had left by Christmas was Kushiel's Dart. I at least got that one *started* in December, so I came really close... but I'm still declaring myself a failure in the challenge.  *raspberries*

My goal for this year is to read all of the "TBR" books on my list that don't have a "Date Acquired" logged for them in Librarything.  (i.e. Anything I bought before I started logging the purchase dates of books back in December of '06.)

Books That Made Me Happiest in 2007
Phyllis Ann Karr - Idylls of the Queen
Tim Powers - The Anubis Gates
Guy Gavriel Kay - Last Light of the Sun
Martha Wells - The Gate of the Gods
Elizabeth Wien - The Winter Prince
Lois McMaster Bujold - The Curse of Chalion

Disappointments, for one reason or another:
Michelle West - The Broken Crown
Liz Williams - Nine Layers of Sky
Steven Brust - Brokedown Palace
Connie Willis - D.A.
Anne Bishop - Daughter of the Blood
George MacDonald - Phantastes
