My goal is to read 100 books in 2008. The following is the list of books I’ve read or am currently reading. Using a 5 ***** system, from DON’T BOTHER to FAVORITE status. Rating of ***** are the books on my permanent, keep, cherish bookshelf. (Note: All Jodi Picoult books are on my ***** list)

1. YOU on a DIET Authors: Michael F. Roizen and Mehmet C. Oz *****
2. YOU Staying Young Authors: Michael F. Roizen and Mehmet C. Oz ****
3. The Secret Hour - Author: Luanne Rice *** (I enjoy mystery/romance/drama books and this kept my attention)
4. Crazy in Love - Author: Luann Rice *** (See above)
5. Homeschooling but Still Married - * Todd Wilson (I wasn’t crazy about this, supportive wife yada yada. I little too patronizing for my taste)
6. Playing for Pizza - Author: John Grisham **** (I LOVED this book. If you don’t get football, it might be a little confusing, but I laughed OUT LOUD throughout this book. Fun and quick read).
7. Morning Comes Softly - Author: Debbie Macomber *** (girl gets the guy, sweet family, nice read)
8. The Innocent Man - Author: John Grisham *** (first foray into real crime, interesting and good book. Especially since it is based in Oklahoma)

11. The Summer I Dared - Barbara Delinsky***
