books of 2007
this list is probably riddled with typos, because i typed it up at four o'clock this morning when i couldn't sleep. but what really, really tired. it was definitely the year of agatha christie, although mary wesley made a noteworthy showing as well. when i post this in a few minutes to quietjenn i'll probably try to do some sort of summation, because people seem to like that. here, i just present it to you in all it's unadulterated glory. sorry if you have to scroll lots! happy, happy to all.
