Book List 2009
Here is my List of Books Read this year.
It's a pretty mixed bag as usual! I fell inlove with alice Hoffman earlier in the year (she was just what I needed), and and Angela Carter big time later in the year. I flew through all their books I could get my hands on (last year I did this with Murakami). I made a point in the last few months of reading books I should have read by now but never did (A Secret Garden, Jungle Book). There were so many favorites, but I put stars by the titles I particularly loved.

House Tour
I don't think I've ever shared any images of the inside of my dollhouse. I bought my dollshouse a few years ago at an antique store, it's the first proper one I've had. I'm slowly slowly working on the insides.
