I haven’t tried any real challenges yet, apart from one on GoodReads, and I didn’t actually make the 100 books I thought I would. I like your 10 favourites for 2010. Makes me think what I would put on my list!

I also loved half of a Yellow Sun but note that my list is not in any particular order. I certainly know that Chimamanda is a good writer and there is more to learn from her. I will be visiting your blog o.k. Cheers!

Just like yourself I stumbled across J M Coetzee while in a library. The man is genius and it manifests in his writing. In an attempt to read writers around the world I read Achebe’s classic
Things Fall Apart last month.
My goal in 2013 is to develop a more focused TBR list.
Thanks for the wonderful site Geosi.
