Readers, on the other hand, have at least 7.5 books going all the time. Actually, the number of books a reader takes on is usually directly related to the number of bathrooms he has in his home and office. I am working on a survey that will show that, over a lifetime, readers are in bathrooms seven years and three months longer than nonreaders.”

Welcome to this week’s Saturday Review of Books.
SATURDAY, December 29th, will be a special edition of the Saturday Review of Books especially for booklists. You can link to a list of your favorite books read in 2007, a list of all the books you read in 2007, a list of the books you plan to read in 2008, or a list of the books you read for the Saturday Review of Books Reading Challenge. Whatever your list, it’s time for book lists. So link to yours.
ADDED NOTE: Some of you say you haven’t posted a list yet, can’t post one yet, etc. This linky will be open all next week through January 5th at least. Come back and add a link to your book list for 2007 or for 2008 anytime this week.

P.S. If you have a regular review post, you can link to that, too. But be sure you leave your list links.
12/30/2007: The linky has disappeared, temporarily, I hope. When I go to the Mr. Linky website, I get a message that his bandwidth has been exceeded.
That’s neat, because I just made up a list yesterday!!
Thank you! I’ve been looking forward to getting lots of good book ideas from all the lists.
I got a little carried away, Sherry, and posted my two book reviews for this week. Sorry! I won’t be posting my best of list until the 31st.
I’m away and don’t have access to my book lists for the special book list posting. 🙁

Love the quote! I posted a review and my tbr list for 2008.
Thanks for doing this, Sherry! I’ll probably add a couple of other books to my 2007 reads list, but the link won’t change. I also linked to a favorites post that Colleen Mondor did (from my favorites) at Chasing Ray.
Looking forward to looking through other people’s lists.
Great idea, can’t wait to check out everyone’s reviews!
Don’t let me forget to do this after I post my list next week!
This is the first time since college that I’ve started the year with a formal reading list of any kind. Scary… commitment rather than wishful thinking! Eesh.
I linked to my list from 2007.

A bit late, but I just decided today to do a consolidated list of all the books I read last year.
Looks like someone entered for me! Whoever did that,thanks! 🙂
And yesterday, I blogged about several of the authors I interviewed for my radio show, and included sound clips. Check them out when you get a moment.
And Sherry, thanks for promoting reading so well on your blog…
Wow, I left it a bit late this year. Thanks for this list! I got so many good recommendations from last year’s lists they’ve kind of spilled over into this year!
Thanks to whoever posted my list – you’re too kind!
