Hi Kelly! Welcome to blogging and the Book Awards Reading Challenge.
Your list is great. I HIGHLY recommend listening to Seamus Heaney's Beowulf in addition to reading it or even just by itself. His voice is a treat to hear.
FYI--I'm moving to Council Bluffs as soon as my house sells!
What a fun list! We share a name : )
The only one of these I've read is The Bone People, but it was a great book! Hope you enjoy it.
Oh, and I *think* this one goes till June 2008---which relieves some pressure!
