November 2007.
In 2007 I got engaged, graduated college, moved to Florida, got a job at a newspaper, and brought home our first boxer, Conan. In 2008 I got married, moved to Texas and learned to knit. My life has changed a lot since then, and I'd love to see how my reading tastes have changed as well (they definitely have).
I know I went through a Philippa Gregory phase around that time, and I also read all the earlier James Patterson books, and I've since grown out of both those authors, as well as others I used to enjoy like Jennifer Crusie and Sophie Kinsella. I do still love Dan Brown, though -- I distinctly recall devouring "Deception Point" and "Digital Fortress" in college, and I'm anticipating his new book next month!
So, without further ado, lets' take a walk down memory lane and look at 10 books I enjoyed that were published in 2007 or 2008 (some I read back then, others I read much more recently).
2. A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini (4.5 stars)
3. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (5 stars)
4. The Daily Coyote by Shreve Stockton (4.5 stars)
5. Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult (4 stars)
6. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (4 stars)
7. The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton (4.5 stars)
8. Half-Broke Horses by Jeanette Walls (5 stars)
9. The Lady Elizabeth by Alison Weir (5 stars)
10. In the Woods by Tana French (4 stars)
Bonus! Here are five 2007/2008 books on my to-read list -- ones that I'd really like to get to sooner than later.
1. The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
2. The Last Letter From Your Lover by Jojo Moyes
3. Sarah's Key by Tatiana DeRosnay
4. The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley
5. City of Thieves by David Benioff
I'm really loving seeing all the older book titles! And yes to the Name of the Wind (if you like audiobooks at all, then definitely get the audio!) and Sarah's Key. The Winter Sea and In the Woods are on my TBR list.

Love, love, loved A Thousand Splendid Suns! You must get to City of Thieves soon. It's such a great twist on a WWII story and as I recall, it's on the short side. Great list!
ReplyDeleteConan was such a dapper young fella! And so well behaved. Mine rarely sit still for pictures unless I catch them sleeping. I still see In the Woods getting a lot of hype to this day so it must be a really good read!
ReplyDeleteThe Name of the Wind is fantastic and I hope you get to it soon!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have some great books from a decade ago on here!
My TTT is on my blog, if you're interested.

In the Woods is such a good book! And I adore the Harry Potter books. I really want to read A Thousand Splendid Suns. I own it. Just haven't read it. Great list, Lindsay! Thank you for sharing!
