Okay, so I didn't report books last year... mainly because I read an embarrassingly small number of them (thirteen? I think...). But hey, I was getting married. I'm trying to get back into the flow this year, but I've started editing and between that and freelance writing and looking for a day job... I haven't had as much time as I'd like. But I've ( Read more... )

48. Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

This is one of the prettiest books I read this year.  The presentation alone is very nice-cover is gorgeous, and the whole book is printed in this subtly blue ink which made it all that more delicious, somehow.  Really at first I thought that one more wolf-boy book... yawn, but Maggie Stiefvater's been getting so much ( Read more... )

41. Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Yeah, this is the teaching manual for this year for Gospel Doctrine. Last church book this year. ;)

42. The People of Sparks by Jeanne DuPrau ( Read more... )

Apparently I have not updated here for quite a long time. Good thing my reading has slowed a bit, or I'd have a million things to post. As it is, I'll probably be back soon, as lately I've fallen hard back into my old habit of reading twelve things at once, and several are inching toward the end. Anyway...

Book 30: Death Angel by Linda Howard ( Read more... )

So, I've been a bit absent here.  At the moment I think it's unlikely I'll make it anywhere close to the 50 book goal, but that's okay.  With all the crazyness going on in my life at the moment, I decided pretty early on that it was okay if this wasn't a big priority to me this year.  But anyhow...

5. Persuasion by Jane Austen

I've been reading ( Read more... )

My laptop crashed which means I am now paying for my delay in posting because I lost my list of books.  I know 5 of them, but I'm missing at least a couple of trashy romance novels whose titles and authors I've forgotten. *head-desk*  Considering how far behind I am on my reading list this year, I'm extremely unhappy about this.  So if I start ( Read more... )

Falling behind again, lol.

Book #3 - The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau

( Amazon Description )

1. Love's Labour's Lost - William Shakespeare
There was Shakespearean flirting. That might be about all I got out of it ;) No, seriously though, I enjoyed it and I can't wait to go back to Stratford so that I can go to the RSC Archive and watch Tennant's performance in it from this fall.

2. Interred with their Bones - Jennifer Lee CarrellThis ( Read more... )

Books 2 through 4, as well as the last few from last year, is the Harry Potter series. This was the first time I've read it.

I resisted Harry Potter for the longest time, because I tend to have an automatic aversion to things like that that are wildly popular. But when I caved last summer and read the Twilight Saga, tiemeinbows told me, "Aw, Jenny, to cave ( Read more... )
