The best books of 2007?

What would the New Year be without a look back? Here are some of the lists of the Best Books of 2007. Have you already read some of these? Or are these on your list of TBR (to be read)?

Lists like these just prove the adage, "So many books, so little time."

So what are you waiting for?

Remember to check the Marin County Library's website for availability. If the book isn't currently available at the Fairfax branch, just click on the "Request" button and, for 50 cents, you'll be added to the wait list or a copy will be sent to Fairfax from another branch.

Happy reading!
