If you happened to read the BookLoons review of In Her Name, you might have noticed that the reviewer was Elizabeth Schulenberg, who also has her own blog. I hadn’t realized it at the time (and only did after she had commented on the BookLoons review post), but Elizabeth did a wrapup of the top ten books she’d read in 2008.

I was shocked – and incredibly pleased! – to learn that of the 144 books she read that year, she placed In Her Name at number 4! Wow!

Here was her list (although she has more details for each book):

1. The Lions of Al – Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay
2. Bikeman by Thomas Flynn
3. The White Mary by Kira Salak
4. In Her Name by Michael R. Hicks
5. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne
6. Zoe’s Tale by John Scalzi
7. Run by Ann Patchett
8. Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn
9. The Ruins of Gorlan by John Flanagan
10. The Host by Stephenie Meyer

Any time I might find my work compared favorably with any of these authors – particularly John Scalzi – I have to humbly whisper, “Wow…”

But check out Elizabeth’s site and all the other great book-related information she has there!
