Ooooh! I’m so excited to be included on your “shorter list!” It’s just wonderful to have readers excited about my book!
I’m sorry to say I’ve not read most of these. I loved Amaranth Enchantment, though. Really loved it. I’m glad to have several good books to look forward to, though.
I am sad that I don’t see The Year the Swallows Came Early on your list. I think that might have been my favorite book of 2009.
