I decided to take a stroll down memory lane to see what my favorite reads were back in 2007. This was an interesting journey because 2007 was the year I was pregnant with my son. I have to confess I didn’t read much that year. I honestly think every time I sat down to read, I ended up falling asleep! That said, I was still able to scrape together ten of my favorite reads from that year. I liked going back and looking at my reading habits from ten years ago, mostly because it gave me an opportunity to see how much my interests have changed over the years. There’s a lot less fantasy on this list, as well as a lot more historical fiction. I also didn’t read much YA back then aside from Harry Potter, which or course was just a must-read.
