#9 in library category and done with challenge:
sweeping up glass by Carolyn Wall.
Review: http://bfishreads.blogspot.com/2009/12/review-sweeping-up-glass-by-carolyn.html ... two favorite were Cutting for Stone and The Walking People. After that, it gets harder to decide. I'd probably choose Sweeping Up Glass and Gifts of War as third & fourth.
Lots are tied for fifth: The Last Bridge, Into the Beautiful North, Baking Cakes in Kigali, First Comes Love ... Here's mine (no particular order):
The Lost City of Z
Cutting for Stone
Sweeping Up Glass
Stone's Fall
The Hidden Man
How about everyone else? I'm interested to see what I've missed, so I can start compiling an early Christmas List.
Please welcome Carolyn Wall, author of Sweeping Up Glass. Carolyn will be chatting on LibraryThing until August 28th.
Oh, this is such a toughy. For Fiction it would be Sing Them Home with Sweeping Up Glass a close second.
And for NonFic I think I'd have to go with either The Omnivore's Dilemma or Your Inner Fish.
The best Fantasy so far has been A Song for Arbonne with Coraline as second. ... Paul Jaskunas

My Review on the book's home page: In Olivia Cross, Carolyn Wall walked a real tightrope, creating the ... Sweeping up Glass sounds like another in depth, serious story. ... glad I can point you to some books you wouldn't have otherwise considered.
I owe reviews on The Memory of Running and Sweeping Up Glass and have moved on to ............. Caught Stealing by Charlie Huston ... have a review for Hidden sort of roughed out and I now owe a review for The Memory of Running also. Next up..........Sweeping up Glass and ER book.
Thanks to all for the comments and congratulations on the hot review. And thanks to TadAD for an interesting discussion about the book!
