~~ & ~~

If you have seen my Top Ten for 2009, then you know that several of these new-to-me authors made the list.  Most of them, I plan to read more of their work — if I haven’t already.  I can’t really say which was the least liked, since I finished all of them and nothing got lower than a 3-star.

I’m signed up for 2010.  I did so well, I plan to squeeze a few more new-to-me authors than I did this year.  We’ll see how that works out with the move.
