Phew
I read a LOT this month. Granted, if you take out the abnormally large amount of manga, it's a little less impressive. Anyway, here's the list. If you're interested in learning about these books they're all pretty fresh in my mind.
terms-
pbs= I got this book off of paperback swap
m= manga
rr= re-read
sr- school read
1. Wicked- Gregory Maguire (409 pages)
2. Tsubasa: Resevoir Chronicle: Vol 2- CLAMP (208 pages)- m
3. Notes from a small Island- Bill Bryson (352 pages)- pbs
4. Tsubasa: Resevoir Chronicle: Vol 3- CLAMP (208 pages)- m
5. Assassin's Apprentice- Robin Hobb (356 pages)
6. Tsubasa: Resevoir Chronicle: Vol 4- CLAMP (208 pages- m
7. In her Shoes- Jennifer Weiner (421 pages)
8. Touch the Dark- Karen Chance (307 pages)
9. Tsubasa: Resevoir Chronicle: Vol 5- CLAMP (208 pages)
10. Bitten- Kelley Armstrong (436 pages)- pbs
11. Catalyst- Laurie Halse Anderson (232 pages)-pbs
12. Magic Knights Rayearth- Vol 1- CLAMP (208 pages)- pbs, m
If anyone's curious I'm proud to say that I only paid full price on ONE of these books. 1 was a Christmas gift. 2,4,6, and 9 were bought used on amazon (from 2.99-5.00). 5 was bought for 75 cents at the library book sale. 7 was from the bargin bin at B&N (for about 4 dollars). 3, 10, 11 and 12 are all pbs books.
When you read a lot, you learn to look for bargins.
Touch the Dark was full price. I think I should have waited to buy it used. It wasn't a BAD book. God knows it had a wonderful setting and tons of great ideas but it didn't really live up to it's potential. I'll be reading the sequel but I dunno if I'll pay full price.
